Finding the Genome Paper for Burkholderia cenocepacia

Due to microarray data availability, we chose to use the J2315 strain.

• PubMed
  • Search terms
    • The following queries, without any filters, returned the shown number of results.
      1. "Burkholderia cenocepacia" - 550 results
      2. "Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315 genome" - 37 results
      3. "Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315 genome sequence" - 24 results
  • Filters and advanced searches
    • Using query 2, after selecting "Advanced search" and "Title/Abstract" from the drop-down menu, the search returned 6 results.
    • I sorted by publication date and scrolled to the bottom of the list.
      • The earliest article in the list does refer to B. cencocepacia J2315's genome but does not include it.
      • I attempted to find the original genome paper through this paper's citations, but using a ctrl-F search for "genome" shows that none of the cited articles even have "genome" in their titles.

• Google Scholar
  • Search terms
    • The following queries, without any filters, returned the shown number of results.
      1. "Burkholderia cenocepacia" - 21,500 results
      2. "Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315 genome" - 932 results
      3. "Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315 genome sequence" - 883 results
  • Filters and advanced searches
    • Using queries 2 and 3 (without filters), the desired article, "The genome of Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315, an epidemic pathogen of cystic fibrosis patients" was actually the first article in the list (see below for full citation).
    • Using query 2, unchecking "include patents" reduced the number of results to 908.
    • Using query 2 Opening the advanced search page and changing "where my words occur" from "anywhere in the article" to "in the title of the article" reduced the number of results to 7.
