Search the NCBI BioSystems Database directly to retrieve biosystems that include the desired component

• to search for biosystems that contain specific genes, you can use the Gene Name or Gene ID field. The biosystems that are retrieved have been associated with that gene through the method descibed in the data processing section of the help document.



• to search for biosystems that contain specific proteins, you can use the Protein Name or Protein ID field. The biosystems that are retrieved have been associated with that protein through the method descibed in the data processing section of the help document.

OR

Search the Entrez Gene or Entrez Protein database for the record of interest, then link to BioSystems records that include the gene or protein as a component

• retrieve a record for a gene or protein of interest from the Entrez Gene or Entrez Protein database.



• view the "Links" menu (typically located in the upper right corner or in the right margin) for that record and select the link for "BioSystems"



• The biosystems that are retrieved have been associated with the gene or protein through the methods descibed in the data processing/create direct links section of the help document.
