As described in the Biological Processes section, we extracted 101 BPs (reported in Supplementary Data 5) using IPA91 that were successively used for the downstream analysis. LPA interrogates PubMed to obtain a table with information for each gene and a particular BP such as apoptosis or proliferation to understand the number of publications reporting the relationship of a gene-BP (increasing, decreasing, or affected). To filter out false positives obtained from text co-occurrence, it is possible to integrate Beegle’s92 results applied on individual BP, considering the overlapping results. Here with the LPA function, it is possible to extract a BP-genes database from the literature with a twofold aim: (i) producing updated literature information, and (ii) flexibility for BPs of relevant interest.
