ABOUT PPInterFinder
PPInterFinder is a web server that integrates text mining and information extraction techniques to mine information on Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) from biomedical literature. The server is specific to human PPI and is more accurate to extract human PPI from biomedical literature. It uses two background modules namely, NAGGNER (http://www.biominingbu.org:8080/NAGGNER) for Named Entity Recognition (NER) and ProNormz (http://www.biominingbu.org/pronormz) for normalization. These two modules are highly specific to human proteins and have already been developed in the same lab. NAGGNER and ProNormz are available for biocuration purposes as two separate tools.
The input for PPInterFinder can be a biomedical abstract(s) or full text, and the corresponding output is the mined PPI information. The output sentence replaces the original protein names to the corresponding Entrez Gene’s official symbol and the confirmed relation keyword to its root word. For example, the root word for the group interacts, interacted, interacting and interaction is simply ‘interact’. The server provides three different options to upload the input; (i) PPInterFinder Format (ii) MEDLINE Format and (iii) XML Format. The MEDLINE and XML formats are recommended to be in the NCBI order as this differs between the databases. Samples inputs are available in the home page. Presence of some special character like Greek letters is not supported by the server.
