GObar: a gene ontology based analysis and visualization tool for gene sets.

abstract：BACKGROUND:While biomedical text mining is emerging as an important research area, practical results have proven difficult to achieve. We believe that an important first step towards more accurate text-mining lies in the ability to identify and characterize text that satisfies various types of information needs. We rep...
