LipidFun: a database of lipid functions.

ABSTRACT:

Motivation

Lipids play crucial roles in various biological functions and diseases. However, a gap exists in databases providing information of lipids functions based on curated information. Consequently, LipidFun is purposed as the first lipid function database with sentence-level evidence detailing lipid-related phenotypes and biological functions.

Results

Potential lipid functions were extracted from the biomedical literature using natural language processing techniques, with accuracy and reliability ensured through manual curation by four domain experts. LipidFun constructs classification systems for lipids, biological functions, and phenotypes for named entity recognition. Sentence-level evidence is extracted to highlight connections to lipid-associated biological proces
