Discovering High Yield Disease-Gene-Variant Associations
A novel and highly useful feature of the Mastermind software is the Recurrent Terms category. This feature comprises a set of key terms that are created in real-time for a set of filtered articles on Mastermind’s Association Pages. These key terms are identified because they appear recurrently throughout the selected articles at a frequency much higher than in unrelated articles. These key terms can themselves be used to filter the articles to identify the most high-yield content for a given Disease-Gene or Disease-Gene-Variant association.
