SGD: New Search, New Style

August 22, 2016


SGD is pleased to introduce our new faceted search, replete with new features that make navigating SGD easier than ever. It’s simple to get started – just click on the “Try this?” button on the SGD homepage. Try a search for your favorite gene or your favorite topic of study in our improved search box! We have also introduced a sleek new look that retains the same familiar features and menus, but is now optimized for mobile use.
 
New features of the search include:
  • Superior search box functionality: New autocomplete options connect to information faster than ever
  • Sorting options: Results sorted alphabetically, by relevance, and by number of annotations
  • Download gene lists: Export gene lists from search results into a text file with the “Wrapped” and “Download” options
  • Faceted searching: Narrow search results by using categories like Genes, Molecular Functions, Phenotypes, and more!
To get familiar with the new search, check out this quick help video to get started:
