Master thesis: Automated information retrieval and data mining for bio-informatics

As publicly available data in the field of life sciences is increasing continuously, data mining techniques that automatically extract knowledge from online databases and scientic literature have become a time saving necessity. We present GeneFetch, a system that enables biologists to easily find and browse vital information on any gene or group of genes. We also show how GeneFetch can be used in the context of the Semantic Web.
