PreBIND and Textomy--mining the biomedical literature for protein-protein interactions using a support vector machine.

abstract：BACKGROUND:An organism's protein interactome, or complete network of protein-protein interactions, defines the protein complexes that drive cellular processes. Techniques for studying protein complexes have traditionally applied targeted strategies such as yeast two-hybrid or affinity purification-mass spectrometry to ...
