Description PubMedScan is a automatic paper recommendation system for newly published PubMed papers that are related to your interest. This system has the following features: 1) queries are given by a list of PMIDs to search for related articles rather than by keywords or phrases; 2) related papers are reported daily by E-mail and stored in the system; 3) the similarity score between two articles are, currently, scored by PubMed "Related articles" service; and 4) the system can be used through either Web (ver 2.0) or software for local installation (ver 1.1). The local version can be installed on a UNIX machine such as Linux and Macintosh. PHP, MySQL, Apache and Perl modules are required. This system is key-word free, therefore effective to compensate for the keyword search in surveying the papers. To collect the PMIDs of your interest easily from your PDF or text files, we also provide software "PMID-Exporactor".
Type Tool
Main Institutes of management Biomedicinal Information Research Center (BIRC), National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST)

Interface GUI
Input example Register your user ID and E-mail address, and Input PMIDs in the box on "Addition of articles" page. The user confirms the paper list on "Preferred articles" page. To manage the registered/recommended many papers, a user can set multiple research topics. In the "Preferred articles" page, if a user pushes the "Recommend" button, an E-mail reports the new papers for the selected research topic will be distributed to the user (on papers registered in PubMed on one day before the time).

Project name Life science database integration project
Area Genome Informatics
Purpose This project aims to facilitate the research and development in both industry and academia.
Introduction The project develops a portal site that provides various information on databases and analysis tools for life science which were developed by the projects directly sponsored by METI, or developed by the Institutes sponsored by METI. The second aim is to develop an integrated system to utilize the various outcomes related to METI, based on H-Invitationl DB (all human gene database) that was developed in "Genome Information Integration Project (GIIP)".
