How to search our databases

The BioloMICSNet Software facilitates interogation of the available databases. Several ways of searching can be used. The first is a simple text query tool that will search for a given text in all text fields of the selected database and table. The second tool facilitates retrieval of some records using the unique identifier of the record, such as the collection accession number of a given strains or specimen. A third facility allows searches by species and/or genera names. An advanced searching tool is also available to facilitate performance of complex enquiries. This is a bit more difficult to use but with a minimum reading of the instruction one should be able to understand the way it works. Click me to see how these tools are working.

Similarity based on on-line pair-wise alignments

The BioloMICSNet Software facilitates identifiactions by the perfomance of on-line pair-wise and probabilistic sequences (DNA and/or Proteins) identifications. Click me to see how it works.

Polyphasic online identification

The BioloMICSNet Software has facilitated perfomance of on-line polyphasic identifications since the first version produced in 1999. Depending on the databases and the criteria that are available, a wide range of characteristics can be entered, combined and analyzed to obtain an identification of an unknown. The more criteria used, the more likely the identification will be reliable. The current on-line version of the software also facilitates for the production of phenetic trees.

Deposit of user's data

BioloMICSNet users willing to deposit their data or to order items using the cart system, will have to register. We need to be able to contact the depositor/client for specific information (e.g. BioloMICSNet number, possible points of clarification, for example regarding the name, actual date of publication, etc), and we also need to ensure all entries are genuine.

To register for the first time follow the steps below:

1. Enter your email address (see home page), click on the "create profile" button to receive a provisional password by email (this is to make sure that the provided email is real and that you are the person that can open the given email).

3. Read your email and go to the Register menu again. Enter your email and password (obtained by email). Click on the "Login" button and access the BioloMICSNet profile form where personal information has to be entered. Change the password and personalize it. Click on the "Save profile" button. You will then be registered and ready to deposit new items (strains, species, etc) or to order items on-line via the Cart system.

where,

V1: Database number (see 'DB #' below) where to find the wanted record (see table below for more information)

V2: Table number (see 'Table #' below) where to find the wanted record (see table below for more information)

V3: Description or name of the wanted record

V4: Fields code (see 'Fields code' below) to be displayed. To display all fields use the 'All' value (ex.: &Fields=All). To display only one field, just paste the code of the field next to the &Fields tag (ex.: &Fields=E1). To display several fields, use several &Fields tags (ex.: &Fields=E1&Fields=T4&Fields=P8). Only the fields that are not empty will be displayed. See table below for more information on fields codes.

V5: Exact match for the queries. Use T for true or F for False (ex.: &ExactMatch=T)

V6: Unique ID of a given record (ex.: &Rec=1)
