Finds relationships between genes and proteins in literature
Chilibot is a free web-based application for mining PubMed literature, particularly biology or bioinformatics. It searches the PubMed literature database and allows one to query for specific relationships between genes, proteins and key words and the results are returned as a graph. The tool utilizes natural language processing (NLP) techniques to extract relationships among biological concepts, genes, proteins, or drugs from the retrieved abstracts. Chilibot goes beyond basic keyword searches. It offers a variety of search methods to tailor your exploration: search for relationships between two or more key search terms; explore relationships between predefined lists of search terms; generate automated hypothesis suggestions based on the identified networks of information; refine searches by incorporating context through keywords; provide your own synonyms or leverage Chilibot's synonym suggestions; Color-code nodes based on gene expression values for a more nuanced view; special search for modulation of interactions
