Search Notes
You can search for up to two terms in each of two separate fields. Use the drop-down boxes to select a field, then type text into at least one of the boxes below it. Check the NOT box to exclude a term and toggle the AND/OR drop-down to refine your search within a field.
- Use a percent sign ( % ) to match 0 or more characters.
- Use an underscore ( _ ) as a single character wildcard. For example, if you want to find every strain with an alternate name, you would select the AKA field and enter _ in the search box.
- Only the MIC genotype and MAC genotype / phenotype fields are case-sensitive. See chart below for examples.
- To search for a mating type, use the MAC genotype / phenotype field. Type a space first and then the mating type followed by an right parenthesis, e.g. enter " II)" (without the quotes) for mating type II.
- Search for chromosome modifications/deletions in the MIC Genotype using the terms Nulli (nullisomic), Uni (unisomic), Mono (monosomic) or Del (deletion).
Here are common markers for searches. In the MIC and MAC genotypes, capital letters denote the wild type and lower case letters the mutants. In the MAC phenotype, the suffix -r indicates resistance and -s sensitivity.
