Database selection page
Integrated databanks are available in the databank tree which provides a convenient overview and the selection of multiple databanks for simultaneous searching. Frequently used databanks can be specified as a databank set for one-click selection. Databanks from remote BioRS installations can be included in the databank tree to allow seamless integration of data from several work sites. Users can create their own virtual databanks from search results.
BioRS query page
Once databanks for searching are selected, indices to be searched and search patterns are specified to perform a query. Search patterns can include wildcards and be combined with logical operators for building highly specific and complex queries.
BioRS query result list
Search results are displayed in a table listing the databank in which the result was found, the entry identifier and any other elements that were selected to be displayed in the results. The display can be changed by selecting elements from the drop-down list above the results table and clicking the "Display" button. An individual entry can be examined by clicking the entry identifier. Specific subsets of search results can be selected for downloading, adding to the clipboard or passing to external applications.

Several display options allow selected information from search results and returned entries to be viewed and sorted. Returned information can be viewed in the original, XML or FASTA format. When enabled, entries can be viewed with user-defined criteria or external applications.
