How do the queries get generated?

Anatomy Lens converts multiple search keywords entered by the user (MeSH terms, FMA concepts, GO concepts) into a single AND query. For instance, if the user wants to find all articles that are linked to Alzheimer’s disease (a MeSH term), hippocampus (an FMA concept), and dendrite development (a GO concept), the system issues a conjunctive query looking for articles that are linked to all three terms (these terms will be expanded into the queries for subparts and subprocesses appropriately). Note that a user can choose to specify multiple terms within a particular terminology (that is, MeSH, FMA, or GO) as well. By default, the system generates an OR query between terms from the same terminology. The user can choose to switch to an AND query between these terms by selecting the corresponding option from the drop-down menu (▽, located at the top-left corner of the query widget).
