PubMed (Wheeler et al, 2004) is broadly searched for references containing relevant somatic mutation data in cancer (example search: (ras OR genes, ras) AND human AND mutation).
Moreover, when we broadly searched PlasmoDBv10.0 transcripts for human microRNA binding sites, we found thousands of significant hits and that 61 transcripts harbored at least 100 predicted binding sites for a given human microRNA (p-value < 0.05) [Additional file 32].
To estimate the range of behavioural foraging traits in plants and parameterize our model, we broadly searched the literature for estimates of Vmax and Km for nitrate and ammonium and translated the reported Vmax and Km into encounter rates and handling times (Table 1).

Google Scholar was developed to provide "a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature" across many sources (e.g. peer-reviewed papers, books, academic publishers, and universities) [ 17].
Large-scale genetic screens in zebrafish have traditionally not focused on a specific biological process but rather have searched broadly for all mutations causing visible phenotypes of any kind.
PubMed was searched broadly using keywords such as pregnancy, glycemia, glucose, diurnal patterns, and gestational diabetes.
The databases were searched broadly for these terms, and key North American sources known to frequently cover Canadian health services issues were also specifically searched within the Lexis Nexis database (namely the New York Times, Time inc., Globe and Mail, Associated Press, magazines, Washington Post, Toronto Star, Toronto Sun, CBC News).
