PRIME: automatically extracted PRotein Interactions and Molecular Information databasE.
With the exponentially increasing amount of information in the biomedical field, the significance of advanced information retrieval and information extraction, as well as the role of databases, has been increasing. PRIME is an integrated gene/protein informatics database based on natural language processing. It provides automatically extracted protein/family/gene/compound interaction information including both physical and genetic interactions, gene ontology based functions, and graphic pathway viewers. Gene/protein/family names and functional terms are recognized based on dictionaries developed in our laboratory. The interaction and functional information are extracted by syntactic dependencies and various phrase patterns. We have included about 920,000 (non-redundant) protein interactions and 360,000 annotated gene-function relationships for major eukaryotes. By combining the sequence and text information, the pathway comparison between two organisms and simple pathway deduction based on other organism interaction data, and pathway filtering using tissue expression data, are also available. This database is accessible at http://prime.ontology.ims.u-tokyo.ac.jp:8081.
