   Can’t wait? Ask the Reference staff to help you find another article on the topic.

Customize Pubmed by creating your own NCBI account and using filters relevant for you, such as “Toxicology” or “Microbiology Databases” to create a tab to help you easily find the references with additional toxicity or genetic/sequence information.  Don’t forget to add the “Check Jeffline” button by using “outside tools”!
