TexFlame is a tool that renders a single PubMed abstract as a graph, whose representation is derived from the Systems Biology Graphical Notation (SBGN). The aim is for the graph to be a complete syntactic-semantic representation of the abstract – as of now, we have tested it primarily against signaling and ion channel abstracts.

While the tool (as of now) works only on a single abstract, we would like to extend it for path searches against multiple abstracts in the near future.

This tool may possibly of interest to Bioinformatics.Org users. We welcome your comments on our blog site at http://www.texflame.com/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi/
