Biomedical Information Extraction for Disease Gene Prioritization
We introduce a biomedical information extraction (IE) pipeline that extracts biological relationships from text and demonstrate that its components, such as named entity recognition (NER) and relation extraction (RE), outperform state-of-the-art in BioNLP. We apply it to tens of millions of PubMed abstracts to extract protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and augment these extractions to a biomedical knowledge graph that already contains PPIs extracted from STRING, the leading structured PPI database. We show that, despite already containing PPIs from an established structured source, augmenting our own IE-based extractions to the graph allows us to predict novel disease-gene associations with a 20% relative increase in hit@30, an important step towards developing drug targets for uncured diseases.

Building evidence-based knowledge bases from full-text literature for disease-specific biomedical reasoning
Biomedical knowledge resources often either preserve evidence as unstructured text or compress it into flat triples that omit study design, provenance, and quantitative support. Here we present EvidenceNet, a disease-spe…
