What are the differences between EmBiology searches and traditional literature searching?
Last updated on August 21, 2025EmBiology provides search results that focus specifically on biological relationships between concepts, such as proteins, diseases, or pathways. This means you can find articles and clinical trials where your search term has a biological relationship with a second biological concept. Additionally, you can refine these results using filters tailored to specific types of relationships or concepts, helping you quickly identify the most pertinent information.
In contrast, traditional literature searches typically rely on keywords that scan free text or index terms. While useful, these searches often return broader results that may include less relevant articles and lack specialized filters for biological context.
EmBiology’s approach allows for more precise, biology-focused insights, saving you time and helping you uncover meaningful connections that might be missed with standard searches.
