Problem – Rapid Growth of Biomedical data GenBank Statistics http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/genbankstats-2008/ Compiled from GEO historic data http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/summary/?type=history
Problem – Growth of the Biomedical Literature Biomedical Literature • Huge volume (PubMed 23132342 citations) • High diversity • High quality (peer review) Compiled by from PubMed http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed • Users overwhelmed by long list of search results • 1/3 of Pubmed queries result in 100 or more citations (Islamaj, 2009)
Problem – Querying the Biomedical Literature Querying the biomedical literature becomes more difficult Boolean operators Medical Subject Headings Filters
Alternative Mining Tools for the Biomedical Literature Protein/gene associated Medical terminology Synonym Main gene query
Alternative Mining Tools for the Biomedical Literature • Based on Universal Medical Language System • Repository of semantic predications (subject-predicate-object triples) • 57.6 million predications from all of PubMed citations (Rindflesch, 2011)
Alternative Mining Tools for the Biomedical Literature Linked to Entrez Gene database
Workshop- Novel Online Tools for Mining the Biomedical Literature
Case 1 – Few Results in the Biomedical Literature • Searching for novel genes
Case 2 – Few Results in the Biomedical Literature • Searching for side effects of drugs: Cerebyx – respiratory failure
Case 2 – Few Results in the Biomedical Literature Phenotypic information can be used to infer molecular interactions and hinting at new uses of marketed drugs (Campillos, 2008)
