LitInspector
Introduction
LitInspector is Genomatix' new tool for searching literature abstracts from NCBI's PubMed. Users can search for genes, gene functions and signal transduction pathways free of charge.
LitInspector is Genomatix' literature search tool for automatic gene and signal transduction pathway data mining within the complete NCBI's PubMed database containing more than 17 million publications. Software guided gene recognition and color coding increases the readability of abstracts. This way LitInspector can significantly speed up literature searches for the scientist. At the same time the scientist retains full control over the software processed data as the sentences and the complete abstracts remain available.
LitInspector offers a simple interface for quick gene searches as well as a more comprehensive one for free text search or specifying MeSH terms or keywords. It returns:
- PubMed abstracts where genes and relevant keywords are highlighted
- Signal transduction pathway associations (only for gene input)
LitInspector is free of charge and can be accessed at http://www.litinspector.org.
