Abstract:The immense growth in the volume of research literature and experimental data in the field of molecular biology calls for efficient automatic methods to capture and store information. In recent years, several groups have worked on specific problems in this area, such as automated selection of articles pertinent to molecular biology, or automated extraction of information using natural-language processing, information visualization, and generation of specialized knowledge bases for molecular biology.

“…This system mines interaction-network-related data from a collection of over 250,000 full-text papers to construct a large-scale interaction database conforming to a locally built ontology [17]. Interestingly, this information then supports secondary studies concerned with the consistency of the information [18], methods to imitate manual curation [19] and the propagation of facts in the literature [20].…”

“…Some of the data integration and management efforts are presented in [27][28][29][30][31][32]. Several major approaches have been proposed for data integration, which can be roughly classified into five groups [33][34] namely; data warehousing, federated databasing, serviceoriented integration, semantic integration and wiki-based integration.…”

“…Some databases span multiple categories, such as Reactome [25], which we might classify as both a metabolic and a signaling database. Others do not fit into these categories, such as those that store genetic interactions [26], and databases that store literature co-cited gene name links [27] or more detailed literature extracted links [28]. While these databases may not be universally considered pathway databases, they contain valuable functional links between genes, many of which are not available in other pathway databases.…”
Section: Surveying the Pathway Data Landscapementioning
Pathway information is vital for successful quantitative modeling of biological systems. The almost 170 online pathway databases vary widely in coverage and representation of biological processes, making their use extremely difficult. Future pathway information systems for querying, visualization and analysis must support standard exchange formats to successfully integrate data on a large scale. Such integrated systems will greatly facilitate the constructive cycle of computational model building and experimental verification that lies at the heart of systems biology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
