Vadlo
Vadlo is an academic, open-access, free search engine created by two biology scientists in Chicago who wish to make it easier to locate biology research related information on the web. Vadlo search engine caters to all branches of life sciences. This beta offering allows users to search within five categories: Protocols, Online Tools, Seminars, Databases and Software.
Protocols category will let you search for methods, techniques, assays, procedures, reagent recipes, plasmid maps, etc. Online Tools will cater calculators, servers, prediction tools, sequence alignment and manipulation tools, primer design etc. Seminars are essentially powerpoint files for presentations, lectures and talks. Databases will take you to, well, databases, resources, compilations, lists etc. It is here that you can also search for your favorite genes and proteins. Software category is for bioinformatics experts who are looking for codes, scripts, algorithms, executables, downloadable programs and collaborations.
Please realize this is beta, or pre-beta, if you prefer. Vadlo index is expanding everyday. The Library has created a premanent link to it in our Online Databases page.
