How can TreeFam be searched?
TreeFam allows users to easily search for their genes of interest. First, one can search for accession numbers from the source sequence databases such as Ensembl or WormBase. In addition, TreeFam extracts cross-references to GenBank from Ensembl, so it is possible to search for genes using their GenBank accessions as queries. It is also possible to use text searches to search for a gene name (such as leucyl-tRNA synthetase); a gene symbol (such as LARS) or its synonyms (such as LeuRS); as well as to search the TreeFam functional descriptions of curated families. In general, the TreeFam search page finds records that contain all your query words. The search is restricted by the MySQL FULLTEXT search engine, so only words of four or more characters that begin with your query will be found. For example, a query `p53′ will not match `p53′; the query `dc’ matches `DCTN4′ but not `CDC14′. You can use double quotes to specify a phrase. You can also include the species name to specify the spec
