GLAD4U is an alternative search interface for locating specific gene information found within the NCBI resources. Developed by the department of Biomedical Informatics at Vanderbilt University, GLAD4U allows you to query the scientific literature to retrieve and prioritize a list of Entrez-Gene IDs. If any of the genes are found, their ID will be linked to the Entrez-Gene page, along with their score and position in the current GLAD4U list. You can also Click the link “see all supporting publications in PubMed” to open a new window showing all the supporting publications for each gene within PubMed. Results can be downloaded in an excel file, a text file or as a TAR archive (.tar.gz). Detailed documentation of GLAD4U can be found here.
