Consequently, to enable life scientists to effectively use existing biomarker-related knowledge, we selected liver cancer as a target in an attempt to apply our text- mining based approach in practice; we developed a curation system that allows curators to curate, view and edit descriptions of gene-related functions that are stored in our biomarker database.
The open access philosophy of XMetDB allows for any content to be uploaded, and a curation system allows for curators to ensure that the database contents are of high quality.
Curation of the additional details is becoming more consistent as SGD curators become more familiar with the curation system.
After curation, multiple curators and system engineers check the consistency of data, and then the file is uploaded onto the INOH server.
The curator annotates image captions for gene expression patterns via a custom web-based curation system.
The IntAct curation system is a web-based platform, designed to allow collaborative curation by physically remote partners, including UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot curators based in Geneva, Switzerland, the MINT database curators and also the MatrixDB curation team (23).
The close interaction among curators and system developers allowed the latter to implement a number of suggestions that made the usage of the system more effective.
To illustrate the potential of PathNER for curators and systems biologists who are interested in relationships between pathways and diseases, we applied PathNER to Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Initial trials of the curation tool system started in March 2007 and use by all curators started in May 2007.
Today the jobs of "machine learning engineer" (which didn't exist three years ago), "social media curator," or "robotic system trainer" are growing at astounding rates, while all our traditional roles in sales, marketing, finance, and HR are changing as well.
