Following my first post of the relatively new “mini” series, I have made some further improvements to the pubmed2ensembl query wrapper. Two new features are now implemented in bioknack‘s bk_pubmed2ensembl.rb script: retrieval of PubMed Central IDs besides the already retrievable PubMed IDs, and querying of Ensembl gene IDs by PubMed Central/PubMed ID Brief Recap www.pubmed2ensembl.org is a […]

Keeping pubmed2ensembl’s data sources up-to-date proved to be complicated, especially as the gene name recognition runs of the tool GNAT/LINNAEUS that we used took weeks to complete on the local computing cluster. With the recent presentation of […]

Unlike previous long winded blog posts, the mini series only features a very short description of the topic, gives an example and concludes. bioknack‘s collection of tools has been extended with a small command line tool for retrieving the […]
