Abstract

BACKGROUND: Rapid extraction and visualization of cell-specific gene expression is important for automatic cell type annotation, e.g. in single cell analysis. There is an emerging field in which tools such as curated databases or machine learning methods are used to support cell type annotation. However, complementing approaches to efficiently incorporate the latest knowledge of free-text articles from literature databases, such as PubMed, are understudied.
