PubMatrix -- A Tool for Multiplex Literature Mining
What you can do:
Mine PubMed Literatures for genomic and proteomic datasets.
Highlights:
- PubMatrix is a web-based tool that allows simple text based mining of the NCBI literature search service PubMed using any two lists of keywords terms, resulting in a frequency matrix of term co-occurrence.
- It reports back the frequency of co-occurrence between all pairwise comparisons between the two lists as a matrix table. Lists of terms can be anything; gene names, diseases, gene functions, authors... pretty much anything. The user can then quickly sort or browse the frequency matrix table to do individual searches independently.
- It allows the user to build up tables of word relationships in PubMed in the context of specific topics or experiments.
- It is useful for analyzing combinatorial datasets, as found with multiplex experimental systems, such as cDNA microarrays, genomic, proteomic, or other multiplex comparisons.
- Registration is required.
