Bioinformatics concerns the development of computer databases and algorithms
for learning, managing and processing biological information. Currently we are
focusing on extracting structured information such as protein names and relationships
from biological documents using
natural language learning
for
information extraction.
By mining over 750,000 Medline abstracts for human protein interactions and
integrating the results with existing databases, we have developed a fairly
comprehensive database of 31,609 known human protein interactions. The
resulting database is accessible though a web interface at Human Gene ID-SERVE
