Workflows

Perform a search through NCBI eUtils eSearch (3)

• Download

This workflow takes in a search term and a database (e.g. snp, gene, protein) in which to perfom the search over. The result is an xml file containing summary information about the search term. Example input for this workflow are given below: database: pubmed terms: cancer AND diabetes

microRNA to KEGG Pathways and Abstracts (1)

Workflow takes in a text file of microRNAs from microCOSM (at the EBI) and outputs a list of KEGG pathway information, including genes in pathways and pathway abstracts from PubMed. The results can then be used in various text mining applications/workflows to rank the results against a given disease.Workflow takes in a file of microRNAs

Rank Phenotype Terms (1)

This workflow counts the number of articles in the pubmed database in which each term occurs, and identifies the total number of articles in the entire PubMed database. It also identified the total number of articles within pubmed so that a term enrichment score may be calculated. The workflow also takes in a document containing abstracts that are related to a particular phenotype. Scientiifc terms are then extracted from this text and given a weighting according to the number of terms that ...

Cosine vector space (1)

This workflow calculates the cosine vector space between two sets of corpora. The workflow then removes any null values from the output. The result is a cosine vector score between 0 and 1, showing the significance of any links between one concept (e.g. pathway) to another (e.g. phenotype). A score of 0 means there is no or an undetermined correlation between the two concepts. A score approaching 1 represents positive correlation.

XPath Pubmed Ids (2)

• Download

This workflow takes in a search term (as used in the normal PubMed interface) and retrieves a list of PubMed ids in xml. The xml is then parsed to retrieve a list of PubMed ids

Pathway and Gene to Pubmed (2)

• Download

This workflow takes in a list of gene names and KEGG pathway descriptions, and searches the PubMed database for corresponding articles. Any matches to the genes are then retrieved (abstracts only). These abstracts are then used to calculate a cosine vector space between two sets of corpora (gene and phenotype, or pathway and phenotype). The workflow counts the number of articles in the pubmed database in which each term occurs, and identifies the total number of articles in the entire PubMe...

Gene to Pubmed (4)

• Download

This workflow takes in a list of gene names and searches the PubMed database for corresponding articles. Any matches to the genes are then retrieved (abstracts only). These abstracts are then returned to the user.
