Linking Genes/Diseases To Pubmed Ids

Question

Hello everyone,

reading this post

How Do People Go About Pubmed Text Mining

I am asking myself if there are lists, which link gene IDs to pubmed IDs. I found some papers addressing this problem. But since text mining is just a small piece of my current project, I don't want to invest that much time only for the linking. Or are there maybe cross references in other databases? I know that the ENSEMBL DB stores links for gene/OMIM. I also found some references for pubmed in ENSEMBL, but the amount of links seems to be really rare.

With best,

Mario

It's not clear from your question whether you want to use only Ensembl gene IDs or if you're interested in linking any gene ID to a PubMed ID.

If the latter: you can cross-reference any two Entrez databases (e.g. gene and pubmed) using ELink. For example, to link Entrez Gene IDs 110011,110012 to PubMed:

http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=gene&db=pubmed&id=110011,110012

The XML output:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query/DTD/eLink_101123.dtd">

Although a bit out of date, you should be able to find this data at http://www.pubmed2ensembl.org/. However, as Ensembl gene ids are stable it is easy to map them across releases.

You should also have a look at the following: http://meshop.oicr.on.ca/meshop/index.html

Hello everyone,

these things are exactly what I am looking for. I already knew pubmed2ensembl, but I can revert the (maybe) outdated ENSEMBL IDs. Also ELink looks nice.

Thanks!
