Find Articles in EMBASE Using a GenBank Accession Number?

TOPIC: EMBASE® (File 72,73), the online equivalent of Excerpta Medica Abstract Journals, is the most current biomedical database available today. Articles appear online, on average, within two weeks of receipt of the original journal. Each record is indexed by medical research specialists who assign terms and codes in accordance with EMTREE, a highly developed classification schedule and controlled vocabulary. With more than 580,000 abstracts and citations added annually, EMBASE provides Digital Object Identifiers (DOI), the ability to link from specific records to the fulltext articles with graphs, charts and pictures. Clicking a DOI may take you directly to the fulltext of the document or to a professional society website that restricts display to members only or to the publisher’s website, where you may purchase the complete article. In addition, some records present URLs that link directly to the fulltext. For searchers with Dialog eLinks enabled, EMBASE displays links to their electronic journal subscriptions right from their search results.

In EMBASE, biotechnology-related articles contain molecular sequence numbers. These sequence numbers, residing in the Molecular Sequence Number field (SQ=), identify accession numbers found in various databanks and repositories. Searchers looking for information on novel therapeutics and related topics use this field with ease. EMBASE molecular sequence number indexing includes:

Nucleotide sequence numbers:

• GenBank
• EMBL (European Molecular Biology Laboratory)
• DDBJ (DNA Data Bank of Japan)

Protein sequence numbers:

• SWISSPROT
• PIR (Protein Identification Resource)

This example involves a query to find articles that contain the GenBank accession number U88880. This is all the information you have. You think the patron is looking for an article about the treatment of asthma epidemiology.

  Relative to research on effects of environmental exposures on exacerbation of existing asthma, little research on incident asthma and environmental exposures has been conducted. However, this research is needed to better devise strategies for the prevention of asthma. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences held a conference in October 2004 to collaboratively discuss a future research agenda in this area. The first three articles in this mini-monograph summarize the discussion on potential putative environmental exposure; they include an overview of asthma and conclusions of the workshop participants with respect to public health actions that could currently be applied to the problem and research needs to better understand and control the induction and incidence of asthma, the potential role of indoor/outdoor air pollutants in the induction of asthma), and biologics in the induction of asthma. Susceptibility is a key concept in the U.S. EPA "Asthma Research Strategy" document and is associated with the U.S. EPA framework of protecting vulnerable populations from potentially harmful environmental exposures. Genetics, age, and lifestyle (obesity, diet) are major susceptibility factors in the induction of asthma and can interact with environmental exposures either synergistically or antagonistically. Therefore, in this fourth and last article we consider a number of "susceptibility factors" that potentially influence the asthmatic response to environmental exposures and propose a framework for developing research hypotheses regarding the effects of environmental exposures on asthma incidence and induction.
