Workflows

Perform a search through NCBI eUtils eSearch (3)

• Download

This workflow takes in a search term and a database (e.g. snp, gene, protein) in which to perfom the search over. The result is an xml file containing summary information about the search term. Example input for this workflow are given below: database: pubmed terms: cancer AND diabetes

Basic eSearch/eFetch cycle (1)

• Download

This is a basic eSearch/eFetch workflow created with taverna and using eUtils from NCBI. It accepts a query term as input (at the moment, for testing purposes, this is a fixed string), interrogate eSearch to retrieve the list of related sequences on the Nucleotide database, and use eFetch to retrieve the corresponding sequences. I wrote this workflow one year ago, when I was trying to understand how taverna and eUtils work; I suspect it broken, and of course it could be enhanced, so I am ...

Get Gene Ids for Human (1)

• Download

This workflow gets a list of gene ids (number depending on Ret_Max_value variable) for Homo sapiens. The species may be changed according to that desired, by altering the term_value string constant

PubMed Search and Solr storage (5)

• Download

Based on the work of Fisher: This workflow takes in a search term, are passed to the eSearch function and searched for in PubMed. I extended by removing outputs and text extraction and addded an automatic Solr storage process using a post.jar, specified by the user. Before running this workflow, make sure that a solr server is up and running and the variable attached to the SolrImport process contains the correct path. Dependencies: - Solr

Pathway and Gene to Pubmed (2)

• Download

This workflow takes in a list of gene names and KEGG pathway descriptions, and searches the PubMed database for corresponding articles. Any matches to the genes are then retrieved (abstracts only). These abstracts are then used to calculate a cosine vector space between two sets of corpora (gene and phenotype, or pathway and phenotype). The workflow counts the number of articles in the pubmed database in which each term occurs, and identifies the total number of articles in the entire PubMe...

Phenotype to pubmed (3)

• Download

This workflow takes in a phenotype search term, and searches for abstracts in the PubMed database. These are passed to the eSearch function and searched for in PubMed. Those abstracts found are returned to the user
