Behind The Scenes
What powers Text2Knowledge?
The project mines Medline, GenBank, OMIM, taxonomy records, and search-derived context. Most entries are generated automatically, with limited manual curation layered on top.
GeneQuery
What is GeneQuery?
It is a searchable index of gene and protein interaction statements extracted from Medline abstracts. Coverage is useful for exploration, but still incomplete.
Acronyms
What is Acronym Finder?
It ranks acronym expansions found in biomedical literature. Higher scores generally indicate stronger evidence, and user votes help refine the ranking of ambiguous expansions.
Gene Names
What is Synonym Finder / Gene Mapper?
These tools expose gene names, accession numbers, taxonomy IDs, and phenotype hints. Synonym Finder is narrower; Gene Mapper gives you a looser traversal path over the same data.
Missing Results
Why can’t I find my gene or acronym?
The archive is incomplete and the extraction pipelines were narrow. Try variant spellings, both acronym and synonym tools, or use the taxonomy filter to reduce ambiguity.
Gene Tagger
What does Gene Tagger do?
It scans pasted biomedical text and wraps recognized genes with lightweight annotations that include taxonomy and accession context. Long passages may take longer to process.
Tool Index
Where to go next
- Gene Synonym Finder / Gene Mapper for names, accessions, taxonomy IDs, and OMIM links.
- Medical Acronym Finder for acronym to full-name lookup and the reverse search.
- GeneQuery for gene and protein interaction statements.
- Gene Tagger for inline gene labelling in pasted text.
- Taxonomy Browser to locate NCBI taxon IDs or follow lineages.
