Searches at CGD provide access to information stored in the database.
This help page gives you an overview of the searches available at CGD,
along with detailed descriptions of the types of search parameters
associated with each of the searches.
Both the Quick Search and the Text Search are case insensitive and
support wildcard searches. The wildcard character (*) can
be used in the beginning and/or at the end of the term to be
searched. Quick Search and Text Search results are displayed in sections organized by species. Results that are not species-specific (e.g., GO terms, colleagues, references) are listed in a separate section on the results page.
The Quick Search is available in the toolbar located at the top of most pages. It is case insensitive and supports wildcard searches. Queries using the Quick Search option search a limited set of information in the database. The results of the Quick Search can include matches in the following categories:
- * Gene name (systematic ORF name, standard gene name, or alias)
- * Gene name of ortholog or Best Hit from S. cerevisiae or other Candida species
- * Gene description
- * Gene Ontology (GO) term (a term name or a synonym)
- * Gene Ontology (GO) ID
- * Phenotypes
- * Locus Summary Notes
- * Colleague
- * Author of a reference stored at CGD
- * PubMed IDs
The Text Search searches additional fields in the database. It is the best search option to perform a broad search based on your search criterion. Like the Quick Search it is case insensitive and supports wildcard searches. The results of the Text Search can include matches in the following categories:
- * Gene name (systematic ORF name, standard gene name, or alias)
- * Gene name of ortholog or Best Hit from S. cerevisiae or other Candida species
- * Gene description
- * Gene Ontology (GO) term (a term name or a synonym)
- * Gene Ontology (GO) ID
- * Phenotypes
- * Locus Summary Notes
- * Colleague
- * Author of a reference stored at CGD
- * PubMed IDs
- * Abstracts
- * Name descriptions
- * Locus History notes
This search allows customizable keyword searching of the
full-text of over 16,500 Candida journal articles with
Textpresso,
a tool developed at Wormbase. For more information, please see the User
Guide.
The tool allows simultaneous retrieval of DNA and Protein sequences
for a list of Standard gene names or Feature names. For more
information on the Batch Download
Tool, please see the CGD
Help: Batch Data Download.
The tool searches the text of all of the information associated with
the ohenotype curation, including alleles, experimental conditions,
and notes, in addition to the basic description of the phenotype
itself. For more information
about this resource, please see the Searching Phenotype Data help page.
This tool allows searches for orthologs of CGD genes by the name
(gene name, systematic name, or alias) of the ortholog. You may enter
a gene name (wildcards permitted) and the search will return any match
to orthologs of C. albicans or C. glabrata genes
(additional species will be included in the future). CGD
contains mappings of C. albicans and C. glabrata genes to their orthologs in other Candida species and to orthologs in S. cerevisiae; both sets are queried by this tool.
Orthologs among the Candida are computed as described here.
The Search results return two columns.
The first column contains
the name of the gene that:
1. matched the query entered in the
search box, and
2. has an ortholog in C. albicans or
C. glabrata.
The second column contains the name of the
C. albicans or C. glabrata gene(s) whose ortholog is listed in Column 1.
Please note, regarding specifics of the query and the results
displayed: The query searches the standard name, systematic name, and
alias names (if any) of the genes in the CGD ortholog mappings.
However, the search results display the standard and systematic name
only; alias names are not displayed, so it is possible that the gene
name that matched the query is an alias that is not shown on the
results page. For orthologs in S. cerevisiae, only the
Standard Name of the S. cerevisiae gene, as defined at the Saccharomyces Genome
Database, is searched. For genes that do not have a Standard
Name, the systematic name is searched. Other S. cerevisiae gene aliases will not be recognized by the query.
The ortholog and Best Hit mapping files may also be downloaded in bulk from the
CGD web site.
If there is only one match to your search criterion, you will be
immediately redirected to the Locus Summary page for that gene or ORF.
If there is more than one match, the results will be displayed in a
table.
This is a Google Search of the html pages for the site "http://www.candidagenome.org/" To search, enter one or more keywords into the box and click "Seek." The results displayed are those of a Google search and include a list of html pages that contain all of the words typed in the search box. For more information on the Google Search, please see The Basics of Google Search. Please note that this search does not search the CGD relational database.
This link takes you to all CGD curated papers that have been
associated with the Literature Guide topic "Genome-Wide Analysis."
