CiteXplore literature database

CiteXplore literature database provides literature search and text-mining of biological publications to identify and retrieve relevant records and linked data from NCBI resources such as PubMed, Entrez, GenBank, BLAST, RefSeq, and UniGene.

Key Features:

• Integration with GenBank and other NCBI databases: Leverages sequence and annotation records from GenBank and other NCBI datasets to link literature to underlying genetic data.
• Advanced text-mining capabilities: Applies text-mining algorithms to extract relevant information from scientific publications.
• Comprehensive resource access: Accesses Entrez, PubMed, BLAST, RefSeq, UniGene, and other NCBI resources to connect literature with sequence and gene-expression data.
• Customized search options: Provides custom implementations of the BLAST program optimized for specialized datasets to enable targeted sequence-literature searches.

Scientific Applications:

• Genomics: Identifying literature linked to sequences in GenBank and supporting sequence-based analyses via BLAST and RefSeq.
• Proteomics: Retrieving publications relevant to protein sequence annotations and references in NCBI databases.
• Molecular biology: Supporting extraction of experimental findings and methodological details from the literature for molecular biology research.
• Bioinformatics: Enabling integrative analyses that combine literature mining with sequence and database queries for bioinformatics studies.

Methodology:

Combines database integration, text-mining algorithms, and customized BLAST-based search functionalities.
