    User reviews
    I was not entirely sure at first, but this turns out to be a very convenient and most useful addtion to Chrome.

    One of the most useful tools for biology-related research. No more copy-paste and mapping of individual protein names to different databases. And it works perfectly.

    This might be the single best Chrome extension I've had. For a computational biologist especially, it's a must have.
