Text Mining: Extracting Some Genes And Some Variations From An Article.

Question

[Pierre Lindenbaum]

Hi all,

I've got a large article containing many sentences like the following one: (that is to say, it contains a Gene and some variations )

In the above-mentioned study by Roden & al. , mutations in SCN2B were identified in 2 unrelated individuals with atrial fibrillation. The mutations (c.82C>T resulting in p.R28W, and c.83G>A resulting in p.R28Q) were located in the amino terminus of the β2-subunit,

I'm would like to extract a table with the gene identifiers and the mutations in the proteins. I'm about starting collecting those data by hand :-( , do you know any tool that could help me ?

Thanks !

not sure but at least forgene symbols, can't you get that from genecard ?!

HI,

You can use Reflect to extract gene identifiers. Some journals already highlight the gene names using Reflect. http://reflect.ws/ R
