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
