Tutorial Introduction
This tutorial with help you learn what makes
Twease
different and how
Twease
can help you find what you are looking for, fast.
Twease
is a web-based tool to search
Medline™
abstracts.
Twease
indexes each word of
Medline™
and provides features that can
transparently expand your search to help find the information
you are looking for.
Twease
searches are also partially case sensitive.
Short terms are case sensitive, while longer terms are not.
For instance, TnT is different from
TNT (TnT often stands
for Troponin T while
TNT often stands for
trinitrotoluene). For more details on
Twease's
case sensitivity, see the Case
Sensitive Searches tutorial page.
Finally,
Twease
can automatically discover common abbreviations
for search phrases (e.g.,
"protein kinase C" will discover
PKC, PK-C,
aPKC, etc.) and rewrite queries to
use these abbreviations. This feature is available through
the Slider (on the top right) and the Advanced pane.
