2. How do I find my gene ?
• by text search: in Entrez Gene
• by sequence: find related sequences via BLAST
searches or by examining pre-computed sequence comparisons in HomoloGene or BLink (pre-computed protein comparisons)
(find links to BLink results on Entrez protein pages)
• by map position:
query Entrez Gene by map positionorquery map data in Map Viewer

2. How do I find my gene ? www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=gene
• search Entrez Gene by text to find known (named) and unknown genes. Entrez Gene includes records based on uncharacterized cDNAs. These records may represent the gene you are looking for.
ZFIN
2. How do I find my gene ? www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=gene
• query Entrez Gene by gene attribute : identifier, name, symbol, accession, publication (PubMed ID), GO terms, LG or chromosome
• view results of text query, view detailed results by clicking on the gene symbol
• follow link to Gene Search for additional search options
• Subscribe to resource mailing lists by following Subscriptions link
ZFIN
2. How do I find my gene ?
• Take advantage of the higher level of annotation available in other genome where your gene of interest has been indentified.
• Beginning with a text search on the gene symbol, choose the Entrez Gene record for a homolog and then look at pre-computed related information.
• Pre-computed nucleotide comparisons in HomoloGene or pre-computed protein comparisons in BLink may identify the homologous zebrafish sequence.
ZFIN
• follow provided Links from Entrez Gene >> Entrez Protein or HomoloGene
• The Entrez Protein record includes a link to the pre-computed protein comparisons in BLink (BLAST link)
2. How do I find my gene ? • for example: the SIX1 gene has been identified in human.
• Look for related zebrafish sequences (from the Links menu) in HomoloGene (via related UniGene clusters) or Entrez Protein (via related proteins identified in BLink)
ZFIN
2. How do I find my gene ? BLink: BLAST link• BLink provides protein BLAST results between your query protein and all Entrez proteins
• Look at the list of proteins, click on the “Best hits” button to view a list of the number of hits for each organism
ZFIN
91% Identical
• BLink results for the human SIX1 protein identifies
a highly similar (91% identical ) zebrafish protein
• click on the protein Accession to go to Entrez Protein
• click on the Score to view the BLAST2 protein alignment
2. How do I find my gene ? BLink: BLAST link
ZFIN
2. How do I find my gene ? • view the Entrez Protein record
• from the pull-down Links menu, choose the Link to Entrez Gene to view the Gene record
associated with the zebrafish protein identified via the BLink comparison
ZFIN
2. How do I find my gene ? • the Entrez Gene record details page provides links to external source of the data (e.g. ZFIN) and links to other Entrez databases (e.g. PubMed)
• Entrez Gene records are continually updated.
• This record was updated to six1 30-Jul-2004.
