Search the Life Sciences with VADLO
Greetings from Vadlo in the windy city!
Vadlo is brought to you by two biology scientists who wish to make it easier to locate biology research related information on the web. The 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 and your favorite link/s will be indexed pretty soon.
We can not stress enough the importance of using peer-reviewed journal articles and textbooks when designing experiments or making reagents. Your first experiment should always be based on such authentic and complete sources. However, the material generously shared on the web by many groups with expertise in the field is important too. Such Lab protocols can provide you with quick reference, tips and tricks and li’l secrets – minor modifications that may make your life easy and can save a lot of time and resources.
Vadlo: (vud-lo) - Vadlo is a large fig tree characterized by aerial roots that eventually become accessory trunks. This allows it to grow horizontally to amazing proportions. Aerial roots provide for convenient swings to the kids, who, along with eager birds, also enjoy the ripe red figs on Vadlo, called Teta (Singular: Teto ). Source: Vadlo.com
