You can gather fresh evidence for selected Nodes in a Network from the scientific literature. There are two ways do this. The first way is to
This is illustrated in the figure below.
The second way to view literature references is to:
For either of these methods, a list of query terms (one for each selected Node) will be sent to Pubmed, up to 10 abstracts (you can vary the number of abstracts fetched for each query by changing the Max Engine Matches: entry in the Search Controls window of the plugin GUI) fetched for each query, and any associations impinging among one of the selected Nodes will be added along with its evidence to the Network. By default the canonicalName attribute is used to identify the gene symbol.
You can select a different attribute by editing the preferences (via Edit->Preferences…), and changing the attribute name associated with the litSearchEvidenceAttributeName entry. If the attribute doesn't exist, you may create a new attribute. Please note that the attribute name is case sensitive.
