Curating Biological Pathway Models From the Literature
At Amber Biology, as part of a client project to understand the complex cellular pathways involved in the neurodegenerative disease Frontotemporal Dementia, we created software for helping biologists to curate the data needed for building biological models from the scientific literature. This simple software tool is designed to to bridge the gap between the informal textual descriptions of pathway interactions found in research articles, and the kind of detailed and quantitative descriptions required for building formal computational models. We recently presented this work at Microsoft's New England Research & Development facility and this new article published today on LinkedIn, is a summary of that talk.
