X Abstract

We describe the basic design of a system for automatic detection of protein-protein interactions extracted from scientific abstracts. By restricting the problem domain and imposing a number of strong assumptions which include pre-specified protein names and a limited set of verbs that represent actions, we show that it is possible to perform accurate information extraction. The performance of the system is evaluated with different cases of real-world interaction networks, including the Drosophila cell cycle control. The results obtained computationally are in good agreement with current biological knowledge and demonstrate the feasibility of developing a fully automated system able to describe networks of protein interactions with sufficient accuracy.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
