GPSDB: a new database for synonyms expansion of gene and protein names
نویسندگان
چکیده
UNLABELLED We present a new database, GPSDB (Gene and Protein Synonyms DataBase) which collects gene/protein names, in a species specific way, from 14 main biological resources. A web-based search interface gives access to the database: given a gene/protein name, it retrieves all synonyms for this entity and queries Medline with a set of user-selected terms. AVAILABILITY GPSDB is freely available from http://biomint.oefai.at/ CONTACT [email protected].

Extracting synonymous gene and protein terms from biological literature
MOTIVATION Genes and proteins are often associated with multiple names. More names are added as new functional or structural information is discovered. Because authors can use any one of the known names for a gene or protein, information retrieval and extraction would benefit from identifying the gene and protein terms that are synonyms of the same substance. RESULTS We have explored four com...
متن کاملAutomatic Extraction from Scientific Abstracts of Synonyms for Proteins and Genes
Introduction: Protein and gene names change frequently as research reveals details about these entities. 1 Because authors often use synonyms, information retrieval requires identification of these alternate names. Many biological databases — such as GenBank 2 and SWISSPROT 3 — have synonym databases; however, the databases may not be complete. Furthermore, to our knowledge, the extraction of s...

متن کاملNavigation of Biomedical Literature
Data for the initial gene synonym dictionary was collected from publicly available databases, e.g. LocusLink (Pruitt et al., 2000), FlyBase, or UniProt (Apweiler et al., 2004). In addition to primary gene symbols and names, when known, this initial dictionary also contained alternative synonyms and orthographic variants. Although genome databases, were the principal sources of primary symbols a...
متن کاملAutomatic extraction of gene and protein synonyms from MEDLINE and journal articles
Genes and proteins are often associated with multiple names, and more names are added as new functional or structural information is discovered. Because authors often alternate between these synonyms, information retrieval and extraction benefits from identifying these synonymous names. We have developed a method to extract automatically synonymous gene and protein names from MEDLINE and journa...
