G2D: a tool for mining genes associated with disease (2005)

Perez-Iratxeta, Carolina, Wjst, Matthias, Bork, Peer, Andrade, Miguel A

Abstract Background Human inherited diseases can be associated by genetic linkage with one or more genomic regions. The availability of the complete sequence of the human genome allows examining...

Inconsistencies over time in 5% of NetAffx probe-to-gene annotations (2005)

Perez-Iratxeta, Carolina, Andrade, Miguel A

Abstract Background DNA microarray probes are designed to match particular mRNA transcripts, often based on expressed sequences like ESTs, or cDNAs, many times incomplete. As a result, the relations...

Systematic Association of Genes to Phenotypes by Genome and Literature Mining (2005)

Jan O. Korbel, Tobias Doerks, Lars J. Jensen, Carolina Perez-Iratxeta, Szymon Kaczanowski, Sean D. Hooper, ...

The combination of text mining and comparative genomics is shown to be a powerful approach to predicting phenotypes that are associated with particular genes in bacterial genomes.

Systematic Association of Genes to Phenotypes by Genome and Literature Mining (2005)

Jan O. Korbel, Tobias Doerks, Lars J. Jensen, Carolina Perez-Iratxeta, Szymon Kaczanowski, Sean D. Hooper, ...

One of the major challenges of functional genomics is to unravel the connection between genotype and phenotype. So far no global analysis has attempted to explore those connections in the light of...

Information extraction from full text scientific articles: Where are the keywords? (2003)

Shah, Parantu K, Perez-Iratxeta, Carolina, Bork, Peer, Andrade, Miguel A

Abstract Background To date, many of the methods for information extraction of biological information from scientific articles are restricted to the abstract of the article. However, full text...

NEAT: a domain duplicated in genes near the components of a putative Fe3+ siderophore transporter from Gram-positive pathogenic bacteria (2002)

Andrade, Miguel A, Ciccarelli, Francesca D, Perez-Iratxeta, Carolina, Bork, Peer

Abstract Background Iron uptake from the host is essential for bacteria that infect animals. To find potential targets for drugs active against pathogenic bacteria, we have searched all completely...

NEAT: a domain duplicated in genes near the components of a putative Fe3+ siderophore transporter from Gram-positive pathogenic bacteria

Andrade, Miguel A, Ciccarelli, Francesca D, Perez-Iratxeta, Carolina, Bork, Peer

Iron uptake from the host is essential for bacteria that infect animals. A protein domain has been identified that appears in variable copy number in bacterial genes that are usually in the vicinity...

Update on XplorMed: a web server for exploring scientific literature

Perez-Iratxeta, Carolina, Pérez, Antonio J., Bork, Peer, Andrade, Miguel A.

As scientific literature databases like MEDLINE increase in size, so does the time required to search them. Scientists must frequently inspect long lists of references manually, often just reading...
