Search strategies as in silico experiments. (a) Site Search, a box that can be accessed from the header, returns site-wide hits, in the results page filters can be applied. Search strategies (for Genes, Organisms, Pathways, etc.) can be run from the Searches pull-down menu or the Search for . . . panel at the left. (b) Search filter can help to locate searches of interest, for example, identifying ‘text’ searches of Genes or Compounds. (c) Search results constitute one Step in a Search Strategy, which can be combined with other searches (+ Add a step; green arrow) using Boolean operators (e.g. union, intersection, subtraction). Results may be downloaded (black arrow), and searches edited, saved, shared, or published (icons at right; blue arrow). To retrieve this sample search for A. gambiae proteases expressed in the midgut with a specific promotor region DNA motif, see: https://vectorbase.org/vectorbase/app/workspace/strategies/import/bc4d101022805435. Publicly shared strategies are available from the menu at the top (orange arrow; https://vectorbase.org/vectorbase/app/workspace/strategies/public).
