Querying Parse Tree Database of Medline Text to Synthesize User-Specific Biomolecular Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Curated biological knowledge of interactions and pathways is largely available from various databases, and network synthesis is a popular method to gain insight into the data. However, such data from curated databases presents a single view of the knowledge to the biologists, and it may not be suitable to researchers' specific needs. On the other hand, Medline abstracts are publicly accessible and encode the necessary information to synthesize different kinds of biological networks. In this paper, we propose a new paradigm in synthesizing biomolecular networks by allowing biologists to create their own networks through queries to a specialized database of Medline abstracts. With this approach, users can specify precisely what kind of information they want in the resulting networks. We demonstrate the feasibility of our approach in the synthesis of gene-drug, gene-disease and protein-protein interaction networks. We show that our approach is capable of synthesizing these networks with high precision and even finds relations that have yet to be curated in public databases. In addition, we demonstrate a scenario of recovering a drug-related pathway using our approach.

Querying Linguistic Annotations
Over the past decade, a variety of expressive linguistic query languages have been developed. The most scalable of these have been implemented on top of an existing database engine. However, with the arrival of efficient, wide-coverage parsers, it is feasible to parse text on a scale that is several orders of magnitude larger. We show that the existing database approach will not scale up, and s...

Social networks have become the main infrastructure of today’s daily activities of people during the last decade. In these networks, users interact with each other, share their interests on resources and present their opinions about these resources or spread their information. Since each user has a limited knowledge of other users and most of them are anonymous, the trust factor plays an import...
