The Literature Search option is an automated literature search that you can tailor to your area(s) of interest by selecting a set of query terms. Query terms can be further organized into categories. The automated literature search tool searches abstract text and article titles that contain the gene ID, plus one or more of the query terms. The results of the search are organized by the user-defined categories and by gene ID or name. The return page provides the title, abstract, and PubMed link for each of the documents. The gene identifiers and keywords from the search are also highlighted to help you sort, read, and work through what is likely to be a large amount of text.
An additional feature of the literature search on the PhenoGen website is that publications are flagged if more than one of the genes within the gene list are mentioned in a single article. This allows you to easily identify genes that have previously shown a documented relationship.
