 One day I thought to myself what would happen if I combined text mining and enrichment analysis would I get publication enrichment? As you may know I've done a lot of text mining in particular named entity recognition where you go through a publication and Mark all the things like genes that are mentioned when you do that you effectively turn a publication into a gene set and If you do it for the entire literature, you'll have millions of gene sets If you use those as input for enrichment analysis either traditional two-by-two contingency tables or rank-based Statistics and of course correct for the millions of tests that you've now performed you've invented publication enrichment The result of that is a list of papers that mention many of your genes of interest Maybe you should go read them. We've already implemented this functionality for you in the string database Try it out
