Extraction of Conditional Probabilities of the Relationships Between Drugs, Diseases, and Genes from PubMed Guided by Relationships in PharmGKB.

Guided by curated associations between genes, treatments (i.e., drugs), and diseases in pharmGKB, we constructed n-way Bayesian networks based on conditional probability tables (cpt's) extracted from co-occurrence statistics over the entire Pubmed corpus, producing a broad-coverage analysis of the relationships between these biological entities.
