Contemporary Biology NTSC1111: Steps in formulation a search

Search formulation

We start with picking up the concepts in the topic. What are the keywords?

"Extraction of complex proteins from transgenic cattle as a source for medicines to treat genetic diseases for the pharmaceutical industry". What is the process, what are the laws and regulations within the industry, and what is the market trend for this biotechnology? What are the pros and cons to consider?

The bolded words are keywords or concepts and our next step is to convert these keywords to indexing terms in the journal databases. From here let us go to the Library portal, to the database PUBMED. A video will be attached after the class presentation.
