PaLS

PaLS identifies descriptors shared across PubMed, Gene Ontology (GO), KEGG, and Reactome for lists of gene or protein identifiers to reveal functional commonalities and literature associations relevant to disease research.

Key Features:

• Integration with Databases: PaLS cross-references input gene and protein identifiers against PubMed, Gene Ontology (GO), KEGG, and Reactome to retrieve literature links, GO annotations, and pathway memberships.
• Descriptor Highlighting: PaLS identifies and highlights descriptors shared among input lists to indicate common functions, cellular components, biological processes, molecular functions, and pathway participation.

Scientific Applications:

• Disease Research: PaLS helps pinpoint potential biomarkers by identifying shared descriptors among gene or protein lists, applicable to diseases such as cancer.
• Pathway Analysis: PaLS supports exploration of metabolic and signaling pathways via KEGG and Reactome associations to clarify disease mechanisms.
• Literature Review: PaLS links genes and proteins to PubMed articles to streamline retrieval of relevant scientific literature.

Methodology:

PaLS accepts lists of gene or protein identifiers and cross-references them against PubMed, Gene Ontology (GO), KEGG, and Reactome to extract and highlight descriptors shared among the inputs.
