There is a general lack of publically available PI textmining applications that are user-friendly and easily testable. This has been highlighted in a recent paper, A realistic assessment of methods for extracting gene/protein interactions from free text (2009) Kabiljo R, Clegg AB, Shepherd AJ. BMC Bioinformatics. 2009 Jul 28;10:233. Through our BiotextMiner webserver, we have tried to address some of the above issues and have also tried to keep it open (free and with no usage restriction), modular, flexible, scalable and easy-to-use.
