GeneSymbol Highlighter

About

GeneSymbol Highlighter is a high-performance browser tool designed for life scientists,
bioinformaticians, and medical researchers. It automatically identifies and highlights
gene symbols on any scientific webpage, providing instant access to critical biological
data without leaving your current tab.

Stop manually copying and pasting symbols into search engines. Whether you are reading a
paper, browsing a dataset, or analyzing a preprint,
GeneSymbol Highlighter turns static text into an interactive research portal.

Key Features:
Instant Intelligence: Hover over or click a highlighted symbol to see a comprehensive
     summary including the full gene name, functional description, and NCBI Gene ID.
Deep Integration: One-click shortcuts to primary databases: NCBI Gene, UniProt, and
     Google Search.
Multi-Organism Support: Toggle between Human (Homo sapiens), Mouse (Mus musculus),
     and Rat (Rattus norvegicus) to ensure accurate data mapping.
Fully Customizable:
       - Visual Styles: Choose between classic background highlights or subtle
         professional underlines.
       - Trigger Modes: Configure the tool to show data on hover for speed or on click for
         a cleaner reading experience.
       - Whitelist Control: Enable the tool globally or restrict it to specific research
         domains like nature.com or science.org.
Privacy-Focused & Lightweight: The extension is optimized for speed and only fetches
     data when you interact with a symbol. No browsing data is ever tracked or stored.
