Ontology-based Brucella vaccine literature indexing and systematic analysis of gene-vaccine association network.

BMC immunology | 2011

Vaccine literature indexing is poorly performed in PubMed due to limited hierarchy of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) annotation in the vaccine field. Vaccine Ontology (VO) is a community-based biomedical ontology that represents various vaccines and their relations. SciMiner is an in-house literature mining system that supports literature indexing and gene name tagging. We hypothesize that application of VO in SciMiner will aid vaccine literature indexing and mining of vaccine-gene interaction networks. As a test case, we have examined vaccines for Brucella, the causative agent of brucellosis in humans and animals.

BioPortal (tool)

RRID:SCR_002713

Open repository of biomedical ontologies that provides access via Web browsers and Web services to ontologies. It supports ontologies in OBO format, OWL, RDF, Rich Release Format (RRF), Protege frames, and LexGrid XML. Functionality includes the ability to browse, search and visualize ontologies as well as to comment on, and create mappings for ontologies. Any registered user can submit an ontology. The NCBO Annotator and NCBO Resource Index can also be accessed via BioPortal. Additional features: * Add Reviews: rate the ontology according to several criteria and describe your experience using the ontology. * Add Mappings: submit point-to-point mappings or upload bulk mappings created with external tools. Notification of new Mappings is RSS-enabled and Mappings can be browsed via BioPortal and accessed via Web services. * NCBO Annotator: Tool that tags free text with ontology terms. NCBO uses the Annotator to generate ontology annotations, creating an ontology index of these resources accessible via the NCBO Resource Index. The Annotator can be accessed through BioPortal or directly as a Web service. The annotation workflow is based on syntactic concept recognition (using the preferred name and synonyms for terms) and on a set of semantic expansion algorithms that leverage the ontology structure (e.g., is_a relations). * NCBO Resource Index: The NCBO Resource Index is a system for ontology based annotation and indexing of biomedical data; the key functionality of this system is to enable users to locate biomedical data linked via ontology terms. A set of annotations is generated automatically, using the NCBO Annotator, and presented in BioPortal. This service uses a concept recognizer (developed by the National Center for Integrative Biomedical Informatics, University of Michigan) to produce a set of annotations and expand them using ontology is_a relations. * Web services: Documentation on all Web services and example code is available at: BioPortal Web services.

PubMed (tool)

RRID:SCR_004846

Public bibliographic database that provides access to citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books. Citations may include links to full-text content from PubMed Central and publisher web sites. PubMed citations and abstracts include fields of biomedicine and health, covering portions of life sciences, behavioral sciences, chemical sciences, and bioengineering. Provides access to additional relevant web sites and links to other NCBI molecular biology resources. Publishers of journals can submit their citations to NCBI and then provide access to full-text of articles at journal web sites using LinkOut.

COG (tool)

RRID:SCR_007139

A database for phylogenetic classification for proteins encoded in complete genomes. Clusters of Orthologous Groups of proteins (COGs) were delineated by comparing protein sequences encoded in complete genomes, representing major phylogenetic lineages. Each COG consists of individual proteins or groups of paralogs from at least 3 lineages and thus corresponds to an ancient conserved domain. Please be aware that COGs hasn't been updated in many years and will not be.

VIOLIN: Vaccine Investigation and Online Information Network (tool)

RRID:SCR_012749

A web-based central resource that integrates vaccine literature data mining, vaccine research data curation and storage, and curated vaccine data analysis for vaccines and vaccine candidates developed against various pathogens of high priority in public health and biological safety. The vaccine data includes research data from vaccine studies using humans, natural and laboratory animals.VIOLIN extracts and stores vaccine-related, peer-reviewed papers from PubMed. Several powerful literature searching and data mining programs have been developed. These include an advanced keywords search program, a natural languagae processing (NLP) based literature retrieval program, a MeSH-based literature browser, and a literature alert program. Registered users can subscribe to our email alert service and will be notified of any newly published vaccine papers in the areas of interest. These literature mining programs are designed to help the user and VIOLIN database curators to find efficiently needed vaccine articles and sentences within full-text articles that contain searched keywords or categories.A web-based literature mining and curation system (Limix) is available for registered users/curators to search, curate, and submit structured vaccine data into the VIOLIN database. The curated vaccine-related information contains many categories such as general pathogenesis, protective immunity, vaccine preparation and characteristics, host responses including vaccination protocol and efficacy against virulent pathogen infections. All data within the database is edited manually and is derived primarily from peer-reviewed publications. The curated data is stored in a relational database and can be queried using various VIOLIN search programs. Vaccine-related pathogen and host genes are annotated and available for searchs based on a customized BLAST program. All VIOLIN data are available for download into an XML-based data exchange format.VIOLIN is designed to be a vital source of vaccine information and will provide researchers in basic and clinical sciences with curated data and bioinformatics tools to facilitate understanding and development of vaccines to fight infectious diseases.
