IBM Cloud: Think it. Build it. Tap into it.
Baylor College of Medicine
mines science papers to make
new discoveries
Business Need
• While well-studied, p53 is implicated in many
cancers, and there is still a need to uncover new
relationships between p53 gene, protein,
chemicals, and bio-mechanisms
• Needed a solution to build, extract, and
understand key entities from the literature, such
as chemicals, genes, proteins, profiles,
relationships, ontologies, networks
Watson Benefits
• Mined the literature and retrieve specific gene
interactions, and display them for study
• Mapped and discovered relationships between
p53 and relevant genes and networks
• Validated current p53 knowledge and, at a rate
much faster than current methods, revealed new
unknown interactions for further analysis
