BIOSMILE Web Search

BIOSMILE web search (BWS), a web-based NCBI-PubMed search application, which can analyze articles for selected biomedical verbs and give users relational information, such as subject, object, location, manner, time, etc. After receiving keyword query input, BWS retrieves matching PubMed abstracts and lists them along with snippets by order of relevancy to protein–protein interaction. Users can then select articles for further analysis, and BWS will find and mark up biomedical relations in the text. The analysis results can be viewed in the abstract text or in table form.

• • Update 2011/05/25: After recovering from hardware failures, we've republished BWS, which is now available at a new URL (http://bws.iis.sinica.edu.tw/BWS). Please update your bookmarks.

    • The gene normalization component (for human genes only) is updated to the one developed in our paper:
