[BiO BB] Question about Tool for Information Extraction

[Dana]

Hi,

It's seems nice product, depending on your needs. However, you should ask
them about the database. If their database is based only on yeast two -
hybrid analysis it could include not accurate data.  I heard about several 
companies and academic research groups that have similar databases.

Cheers,
Dana

>· Find all interacting proteins from literature  and literature and online
>dbases
>· Extract the exact type of interaction
>· Visualize the interaction using our Interaction Viewer
>· Move seamlessly between interaction data and abstracts containing them
>· Build network of proteins using our Pathway Builder
>· Gather contextual  information related to the interactions,
>i.e. Cellular location, Experimental conditions etc.

>Question: Is this and attractive offer that has some novelty?

>Would appreciate the feedback.
