BioSearch2D

BioSearch2DBioSearch-2D renders the contents of large biomedical document collections into a single, dynamic map. With this engine, users can generate a summary map of genes vs. ontology topics which match that provided by expert human review articles. In addition, BioSearch-2D provides users a context-specific functional annotation system for high-throughput experiment gene signatures and ad-hoc gene lists. The engine complements the annotation produced by Gene Ontology-based annotation systems as well as assigns highly-significant MeSH terms as annotation for the gene list which are not produced by the GO-based engines. BioSearch-2D display facilitates both the exploration of large document collections in the biomedical literature as well as provides users with an accurate annotation engine for ad-hoc gene sets.
