Summary:
The particular thesis presents OnTheFly2.0, a web-based, versatile tool dedicated to the extraction and subsequent analysis of biomedical terms from individual files. More specifically, OnTheFly2.0 supports different file formats, enabling simultaneous file handling. The integration of the EXTRACT tagging service allows the implementation of Named Entity Recognition (NER) for genes/proteins, chemical compounds, organisms, tissues, environments, diseases, phenotypes and Gene Ontology terms, as well as the generation of popup windows which provide concise, context related information about the identified term, accompanied by links to various databases. Once named entities, such as proteins, genes and chemicals are identified, they can be further explored via functional and publication enrichment analysis or be associated with diseases and protein domains reporting from protein family databases. Finally, visualization of protein-protein and protein-chemical associations is possible through the generation of interactive networks from the STRING and STITCH services, respectively. OnTheFly2.0 currently supports 197 species and is available at http://onthefly.pavlopouloslab.info.
