The Soil Ecosystem02:23

The Soil Ecosystem

24.6K
Plants obtain inorganic minerals and water from the soil, which acts as a natural medium for land plants. The composition and quality of soil depend not only on the chemical constituents but also on the presence of living organisms. In general, soils contain three major components:

What is Biodiversity?

33.2K
Biodiversity describes the variety of living things at multiple organizational levels: genetic, species and ecosystem diversity. Species diversity includes all branches of the evolutionary tree from single-celled prokaryotic organisms, bacteria, and archaea, to the eukaryotic kingdoms: plants; animals; fungi; and protists. To date, there have been about 1.75 million species identified, and new species are discovered every week.

The Nitrogen Cycle01:49

The Nitrogen Cycle

59.7K
Nitrogen atoms, present in all proteins and DNA, are recycled between abiotic and biotic components of the ecosystem. However, the primary form of nitrogen on Earth is nitrogen gas, which cannot be used by most animals and plants. Thus, nitrogen gas must first be converted into a usable form by nitrogen-fixing bacteria before it can be cycled through other living organisms. The use of nitrogen-containing fertilizers and animal waste products in human agriculture has greatly influenced the...

What is Conservation Biology?

24.0K
Conservation biology is a scientific field that focuses on the preservation of biodiversity in order to protect ecosystems while meeting the needs of the human population. Humans require properly functioning ecosystems to maintain our supply of natural resources, including food, medicines, and building materials.

Ecological Disturbance02:26

Ecological Disturbance

20.8K
An ecological disturbance is a temporary disruption in the environment resulting from abiotic, biotic, or anthropogenic factors, causing a pronounced change in an ecosystem. The impact of an ecological disturbance, which can depend on its intensity, frequency, and spatial distribution, plays a significant role in shaping the species diversity within the ecosystem.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Informatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Natural Language Processing

Background:

  • Current text mining tools demand specialized natural language processing (NLP) skills, creating a barrier for biomedical researchers.
  • Existing tools often optimize for general performance metrics, which may not align with the specific needs of biomedical research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce Agile text mining as a more accessible approach for biomedical researchers.
  • Present the PubAnnotation ecosystem as a practical implementation of Agile text mining.
  • Demonstrate how the system addresses end-user requirements through targeted customization.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the PubAnnotation ecosystem, comprising PubAnnotation, PubDictionaries, and TextAE.
  • Re-framed text mining from system assembly to retrieving warehoused annotations.
  • Enabled targeted customization of pre-existing systems for specific end-user needs.

Main Results:

  • The PubAnnotation ecosystem allows biomedical researchers to retrieve and customize annotations without extensive NLP expertise.
  • Two use cases, assisted curation of the GlycoEpitope database and literature assessment for pre-eclampsia-associated genes, demonstrate the system's utility.
  • The tools and associated data are publicly available as web services and open-source projects.

Conclusions:

  • Agile text mining, exemplified by the PubAnnotation ecosystem, effectively bridges the gap between complex NLP tools and biomedical research needs.
  • The system's focus on user-specific requirements and accessible annotation retrieval enhances the usability and applicability of text mining in biomedicine.
