    摘要: The present invention relates to methods for identifying novel genes comprising: (i) generating one or more specialized databases containing information on gene/protein structure, function and/or regulatory interactions; and (ii) searching the specialized databases for homology or for a particular motif and thereby identifying a putative novel gene of interest. The invention may further comprise performing simulation and hypothesis testing to identify or confirm that the putative gene is a novel gene of interest. The present invention also relates to natural language processing and extraction of relational information associated with genes and proteins that are found in genomics journal articles. To enable access to information in textual form, the natural language processing system of the present invention provides a method for extracting and structuring information found in the literature in a form appropriate for subsequent applications.

    摘要: The invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying mutations associated with cancer, such as melanoma. More particularly, the invention relates to methods and compositions for assessing particular mutations as markers for cancer, such as melanoma. Such methods and compositions allow medical providers to diagnose cancer, such as melanoma, based upon the presence of one or more particular mutations in a subject, as compared with an otherwise healthy control. The methods and compositions are also useful in guiding the type of therapy to be applied, and monitoring the effects of the therapy applied.
