Scaling drug indication curation through crowdsourcing
Motivated by the high cost of human curation of biological databases, there is an increasing interest in using computational approaches to assist human curators and accelerate the manual curation process. Towards the goal of cataloging drug indications from FDA drug labels, we recently developed LabeledIn, a human-curated drug indication resource for 250 clinical drugs. Its development required...
متن کاملCrowdsourcing Protein Family Database Curation
We propose a novel method for crowdsourcing a protein family database. We discuss how we intend to identify novel groupings of proteins from user sequence similarity search, and how text mining will be applied to assist in annotation of these novel groupings, and more broadly as an enrichment of protein sequence similarity search results. We intend to use entity linking to identify literature w...
متن کاملCrowdsourcing and curation: perspectives from biology and natural language processing
Crowdsourcing is increasingly utilized for performing tasks in both natural language processing and biocuration. Although there have been many applications of crowdsourcing in these fields, there have been fewer high-level discussions of the methodology and its applicability to biocuration. This paper explores crowdsourcing for biocuration through several case studies that highlight different w...
متن کاملMammalian miRNA curation through next-generation sequencing
Characteristic small RNA biogenesis processing patterns are used for the discovery of novel microRNAs (miRNAs) from next-generation sequencing data. Here, we highlight and discuss key criteria for mammalian - specifically human - miRNA database curation based on small RNA sequencing data. Sequence reads obtained from small RNA cDNA libraries are aligned to reference genomic regions, and miRNA g...
متن کاملCrowdsourcing Interactions A proposal for capturing user interactions through crowdsourcing
Crowdsourcing has been proposed as an inexpensive and often efficient way of outsourcing work tasks to a large group of people. In this paper, we propose to use crowdsourcing as strategy for acquiring users interactions within interactive information retrieval (IIR) systems. We are interested to understand whether crowdsourcing represents a robust strategy that can be used in conjunction with c...
