GenXref. VI: Automatic generation of links between two heterogeneous databases

F Achard and P Dessen
GIS Infobiogen, Villejuif, France.

MOTIVATION: A large proportion of the information found in public databases is not sufficiently cross-referenced. We developed genXref, an automated system for link inference, because embarking on a manual cross-referencing of genome data would require too much expensive human expertise. It uses information retrieval technology to generate links between objects of heterogeneous databases. RESULTS: GenXref was used to generate links between GDB genes and Genbank human sequences. It resulted in > 10,000 links with a precision of 83% and a recall of approximately 32%.
