"It's usually how to broadly search on a specific topic," she says.
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].
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].
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).
Searching broadly across photosynthetic organisms in other eukaryotic phyla, we could not identify another instance where ilvH or ilvB had been lost from any chloroplast genome independent of its partner gene, which is a striking occurance considering a recent review indicated all known acetohydroxyacid synthases contain both subunits [ 71].
I didn't press the bell because the door was already ajar, and a broadly smiling man with searching, wide-open cornflower-blue eyes was coming to greet me.
From the patient perspective, a quantitative study conducted in Australia concluded that the majority of patients did not believe that information searching adversely affected the doctor-patient relationship [ 9], while a parallel study with doctors found they were broadly supportive of patients searching the Internet for medical information [ 10].
How smart she was to search broadly and without prejudice for the field that captured her imagination.
Analysts could search broadly in the metadata associated with the images, but were only supposed to look at pictures when they thought there was a reason to — although in practice this meant that they could also, according to a document the Guardian cited, look at "webcam images associated with similar Yahoo identifiers to your known target".
