aiSee Application Examples: Chilibot
Chilibot is a software robot that digs into the PubMed database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine to hunt for information regarding the relationships between genes, proteins and keywords of your interest. Chilibot uses aiSee to generate a relationship map which can then be interactively explored by the user via a well-designed Web-based interface.
Chilibot accepts gene symbols, gene names, UniGene IDs, and free form keywords as query terms. It automatically performs a synonym lookup before sending a query to the PubMed. The synonym database contains over 110,000 entries; the synonyms are user-editable.
Chilibot outputs:
- A synopsis for each query term with user-defined keywords highlighted,
- Extensive link connections to PubMed for terms, synonyms, abstracts and relationships, and
- Relationship and sub-network maps of various kinds.
Chilibot also links to other databases such as OMIM, LocusLink, and the Genome Database. And not only that: it can also automatically generate a new hypothesis based on the literature found.
