| NOT |
receptor AND interferon AND NOT gamma |
All the receptors for interferons other than gamma. | ||

receptor AND (interferon OR growth factor) |
All the interferon and growth factor receptors. | |
| % | wild-card character |

All the entries matching 'actin' (A,B,C) but also 'actin-capping' (A,B), 'actin-related' (A,B), 'prolactin' (B,C), etc. When % is not given at either end of a keyword it is expected to be preceded/succeded by a space. | |
