GLAD4U is Now Available

Posted on by

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.

To search this resource, click on the link above, or look it up using the MSKsearch search box on the Library’s Website.

  • MSKCC researchers contributed to a study published in Pediatrics that found that the majority of pre-adolescents do not regularly use sunscreen despite the fact that many of them suffered sunburns at some point during their childhood, which increases the risk of developing melanoma later in life.
  • Dr. Peter T. Scardino of MSKCC was quoted in a Huffington Post article about the implications of a recent study that found a new gene variant linked with a higher risk of developing hereditary prostate cancer.
  • Researchers from MSKCC have shown in mouse models that a single dose of the commonly used antibiotic, clindamycin, wiped out nearly 90 percent of bacterial taxa, leaving the mice unusually susceptible to infection by Clostridium difficile.
