Query term auto-completion

The search box above has an auto-complete feature which lists terms (names and identifiers) matching the query you've typed in. However, it required you to type in at least 2 characters. By default it lists only the terms beginning with the string specified. If you want to relax this restriction, i.e. have the auto-complete to suggests terms containing the specified string anywhere in the term, prepend * to your query string.

Searching

Search is performed over reaction and pathway names and over entity names, identifiers and GO molecular function terms (name, accession and EC number)

The search is initially performed with the requirement for exact match to the query term. If nothing is found, the matching criteria are relaxed and the search is performed again with the requirement for all the words in the query to match (but not necessarily in the given order). If still nothing is found, the criteria are relaxed even further allowing the query term to be a fragment of a word.

Please note that the matches as reported in the "Search results" tab do not necessarily have to have the query term in their display name. For example, a search for "Adenosine 5'-triphosphate" results in a list of entities with display name "ATP". All occurrences of ATP as well as of complexes and sets containing ATP are highlighted on the map. Furthemore, also reactions which involve ATP but for which it has not been drawn (to make the map less crowded) are highlighted to indicate the involvement of ATP.

Some example searches:

  • Apoptosis
  • ATP
  • 1.1.4.1
  • E2F [nucleoplasm]
