Literature-based Discovery Support System and Its Application to Disease Gene Identification
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION. The main points addressed by this paper are: 1. Is it possible to discover new, potentially meaningful relations (knowledge) between medical concepts by searching and analysing the documents from a bibliographic database such as Medline?, 2. To what degree can be the discovery process automated? And 3. Can this process be used for the task of candidate gene discovery for a human disease? As an attempt to deal with these issues we developed an interactive discovery support system based on association rule mining of the Medline bibliographic database. Its intended use is as a generator for research ideas that should be then investigated by traditional medical methods.

Molecular Identification of Rare Clinical Mycobacteria by Application of 16S-23S Spacer Region Sequencing
Objective(s) In addition to several molecular methods and in particular 16S rDNA analysis, the application of a more discriminatory genetic marker, i.e., 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer gene sequence has had a great impact on identification and classification of mycobacteria. In the current study we aimed to apply this sequencing power to conclusive identification of some Iranian clinical ...

We present an interactive literature based biomedical discovery support system (BITOLA). The goal of the system is to discover new, potentially meaningful relations between a given starting concept of interest and other concepts, by mining the bibliographic database Medline. To make the system more suitable for disease candidate gene discovery and to decrease the number of candidate relations, ...

Abstract: In disease gene identification and classification, users are only interested in classifying one specific class, disease genes, without considering other classes (non-disease genes). This situation is referred to as one-class classification. Existing machine learning-based methods typically use known disease gene as positive training set and unknown genes as negative training set to bu...
