Time to upgrade your browser with this awesome add-in!
It's called GIX and you can read about it here:
(there is also a preprint here)
You can just go ahead and install GIX by going to the GIX site (if you are using Firefox or Chrome -- but...why wouldn't you...?...are there better options?) here.
Once you add GIX to your browser, go to any webpage, anywhere. If there is a gene name displayed anywhere in your browser, double click on it!!
For example:
ITGB5
If you double click on it you should get ALL THIS INFO as something that pops up on the right side of your screen. That's all you have to do. And, as far as I can tell, it always looks just like this. I can find the MW of any protein just by clicking on the name of the gene -- same format -- any site. No more "UniProt has that info here, and NCBI keeps it in this pulldown thing"
HOW COOL IS THAT???
It looks like you can customize it a lot, and there is an API, but I like it exactly the way it is.
