BeeSpace Navigator: Exploratory Analysis of Gene Function using Semantic Indexing of Biological Literature
With the rapid decrease in cost of genome sequencing, the classification of gene function is becoming a primary problem. Such classification has been performed by human curators who read biological literature to extract evidence. BeeSpace Navigator is a prototype software for exploratory analysis of...

With the rapid decrease in cost of genome sequencing, the classification of gene function is becoming a primary problem.

Since extraction is done on selected collections that are semantically indexed into conceptual spaces, the curation can be task specific.
