  8. Google Scholar - Cited by+options • From last part: • http://scholar.google.com.tw/scholar?hl=en&lr=&cites=1462454896010764319 • Add: • &as_sauthors=elowitz

  9. PubMed • Search for the lambda phage’s pRE promoter. • Google Scholar • Can’t find many relevant papers • Pubmed • Most results are related (although I personally feel that the results are not ordered well enough).

  10. Reference example • Different papers have different reference formats. Some examples: • [1] Ito K., et al. (2005) “Cellular Functions, Mechanism of Action, and Regulation of FtsH Protease”, Annu. Rev. Microbiol, 59:211-231 • [2] K. Ito. “Cellular Functions, Mechanism of Action, and Regulation of FtsH Protease”, Annu. Rev. Microbiol, Vol. 59, pp. 221-231, 2005.

  11. Search by References • Look up a paper’s reference to find more information.
