Abstract:

Motivation: A large proportion of the information found in public databases is not sufficiently cross-referenced. We developed genXref, an automated system for link inference, because embarking on a manual cross-referencing of genome data would require too much expensive human expertise. It uses information retrieval technology to generate links between objects of heterogeneous databases.

Results: GenXref was used to generate links between GDB genes and Genbank human sequences. It resulted in >10 000 links with a precision of 83% and a recall of sim32%.

Availability: The links generated by genXref are stored in the Virgil database: http://www.infobiogen.fr/services/virgil/home.html
