Gene nomenclature has been a persistent struggle. Gene names and symbols have changed, scientists still use old conventions, and past publications are not updated to the new standards. Finding articles of interest can be quite a struggle with ever-evolving naming conventions.
Genonymous is a Mac OS X application that allows you to find gene aliases using the Entrez Gene database at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). Genonymous comprehensively searches PubMed for articles related to your gene of interest using all of its known aliases. Students and professionals alike can benefit from Genonymous.
Save time and resources by letting Genonymous find all the aliases of your gene of interest. Have a dozen aliases? Dont worry. Let Genonymous search for you all the publications related to your gene. You dont have to type a thing! Everything is done automatically. Genonymous gives you the option to add additional search criteria in order to find the publications of interest. A simple click will show you the results directly in PubMed or Google Scholar. You can even decide to remove certain aliases from your search. Are you studying the same genes over and over again? Save time and flag genes within Genonymous to easily access them for future searches.
Features:
- search genes by name, symbol, Entrez Gene ID, alias, etc.;
- easily look up a genes aliases;
- quickly open a browser to a genes page to get more information;
- automatically search for publications mentioning a gene of interest;
- see which aliases are most commonly used in the literature;
- get directly transferred to Pubmed or Google Scholar with the results of your search;
- refine your PubMed search to an organism, only use specific aliases, include additional search keywords. Genonymous will automatically write and format the search query for you;
- flag your favorite genes for later access;
- export the list of flagged genes into text files.
Note:
You will need an active Internet connection in order to use Genonymous to its full potential. Genonymous retrieves data directly from the NCBI website and will only show you the list of flagged genes while being offline.
Dont miss out on valuable information! Use Genonymous now and get the facts you need to carry on your research!
