Pubmed2ensembl: a resource for mining the biological literature on genes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The last two decades have witnessed a dramatic acceleration in the production of genomic sequence information and publication of biomedical articles. Despite the fact that genome sequence data and publications are two of the most heavily relied-upon sources of information for many biologists, very little effort has been made to systematically integrate data from genomic sequences directly with the biological literature. For a limited number of model organisms dedicated teams manually curate publications about genes; however for species with no such dedicated staff many thousands of articles are never mapped to genes or genomic regions.

Methodology/principal findings

To overcome the lack of integration between genomic data and biological literature, we have develop
