Discovering protein similarity using natural language processing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extracting protein interaction relationships from textual repositories, such as MEDLINE, may prove useful in generating novel biological hypotheses. Using abstracts relevant to two known functionally related proteins, we modified an existing natural language processing tool to extract protein interaction terms. We were able to obtain functional information about two proteins, Amyloid Precursor Protein and Prion Protein, that have been implicated in the etiology of Alzheimer's Disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, respectively.

متن کاملDetecting Semantic Overlap and Discovering Precedents in the Biodiversity Research Literature
Scientific literature on biodiversity is longevous, but even when legacy publications are available online, researchers often fail to search it adequately or effectively for prior publications; consequently, new research may replicate, or fail to adequately take into account, previously published research. The mechanisms of the Semantic Web and methods developed in contemporary research in natu...
متن کاملEquation Embeddings
We present an unsupervised approach for discovering semantic representations of mathematical equations. Equations are challenging to analyze because each is unique, or nearly unique. Our method, which we call equation embeddings, finds good representations of equations by using the representations of their surrounding words. We used equation embeddings to analyze four collections of scientific ...

Today, the importance of text processing and its usages is well known among researchers and students. The amount of textual, documental materials increase day by day. So we need useful ways to save them and retrieve information from these materials. For example, search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing and etc. need to read so many web documents and retrieve the most similar ones to the user ...
متن کاملInformation Retrieval by Semantic Similarity
Semantic Similarity relates to computing the similarity between conceptually similar but not necessarily lexically similar terms. Typically, semantic similarity is computed by mapping terms to an ontology and by examining their relationships in that ontology. We investigate approaches to computing the semantic similarity between natural language terms (using WordNet as the underlying reference ...
