Agilent Literature Search Software is a meta-search tool for automatically querying multiple text-based search engines (both public and proprietary) in order to aid biologists faced with the daunting task of manually searching and extracting associations among genes/proteins of interest. Agilent Literature Search Software can be used in conjunction with Cytoscape, which provides a means of generating an overview network view of gene/protein associations. Agilent Literature Search Software provides an easy-to-use interface to its powerful querying capabilities. When a query is entered, it is submitted to multiple user-selected search engines, and the retrieved results (documents) are fetched from their respective sources. Each document is then parsed into sentences and analyzed for protein-protein associations. Agilent Literature Search Software uses a set of "context" files (lexicons) for defining protein names (and aliases) and association terms (verbs) of interest. Associations extracted from these documents are collected into a Cytoscape network. The sentences and source hyperlinks for each association are further stored as attributes of the corresponding Cytoscape edges. Agilent Literature Search is a registered Cytoscape plugin and can be installed via the Cytoscape Plugin Manager. Just click the plugins->Manage Plugins menu item and then look under Network Inference.
