When an Entrez database search is complete, the Entrez Search Results window appears, showing a list of sequences that match your query.
The buttons at the top of the window are used to open, save, copy or print results.
| Task | Button to use… |
|---|---|
| To open one or more results in the selected Lasergene application | Open With |
| To open one or more results in the current application | Create Document. |
| To open one or more results in your default web browser | Launch Browser |
| To save a group of results as sequence files | Batch Save |
| To print one or more results |
The following table describes tasks that can be performed in the lower portion of the window:
| Task | How to… |
|---|---|
| To sort results | Click on a column header to sort the rows by that column. |
| To narrow the results of a text query | Make sure the text search results window is active by clicking on it. If you have several text results windows open, select Net Search > Current Results to locate the desired window. Select Net Search > Search These Results and enter the desired search criteria. Click Search. |
| To change the search query | To modify a text query to obtain different results without having to completely recreate a complex query, select Net Search > Change This Query. The Entrez Query dialog appears containing the same search criteria that you last used, allowing you to edit as necessary before performing a new search. |
After using Batch Save or Create Document, selections that have been downloaded or opened are denoted with a black diamond or arrow.
