Put experiments, and has been used to predict novel PPIs in other organisms by transferring annotations to orthologous protein pairs. While there is a significant body of work on applying TM to the biological domain, however, there still remain many challenges in areas like relation extraction, species disambiguation and hypothesis generation. Systems biology and genomics deal with large data models of unprecedented complexity; TMallows us to draw on the published literature in a disciplined manner to inform the development of quantitative models. We expect TM to become an important addition to the systems biologist’s toolkit, complementing existing techniques like comparative and primary data analysis. We hope to have demonstrated the use and limitations of TM in its current guise. Being aware of the limitations, however, should enable the community to develop and adopt protocols that allow for easier, more reliable analysis of published research outputs from these tools. This is important not only for researchers, but also for publishers, funding bodies and regulators. These three players have, of course, different but, crucially, not competing interests as far as accessibility of information is concerned. Regulators, in particular, irrespective of whether or not they are engaged in accrediting new drugs or nutritional supplements or the granting of patents, stand to benefit profoundly from information that is provided in an electronically accessible and unambiguous fashion.
