Keyword Search Results

PubMed

• Search Query: "yeast cold shock"
  • Search Results: 211
• Search Query: "microarray data yeast cold shock"
  • Search Results: 3
• Adding "microarray data" to the query greatly limited the search results. However, this query may have been too strict as there was only three results. Although I did find one article "Parameter Estimation for Gene Regulatory Networks from Microarray Data: Cold Shock Response in Saccharomyces cerevisiae" which I have chosen to use in the bibliography.

Google Scholar

• Search Query: "yeast cold shock"
  • Search Results: About 288,000
• Search Query: "microarray data yeast cold shock"
  • Search Results: About 30,700
• Search Query: "microarray data of cold shock in Saccharomyces cerevisiae"
  • Search Results: About 15,400
• Google Scholar provided much more results than PubMed. Thus, more specific search queries were able to be used to find papers that were very closely matched to the topic. The last query seemed to offer a number of results pertaining to the topic.

Web Of Science

• Search Query: "yeast cold shock"
  • Search Results: 218
• Search Query: "microarray data yeast cold shock"
  • Search Results: 4
• Similar to PubMed, adding "microarray data" to the query greatly reduced the number of search results. In this more specific query, I found a research article titled "Genome-wide analysis of the yeast transcriptome upon heat and cold shock" that I used in my bibliography.
