Beschreibung

Annotations of clinical trials with controlled vocabularies of drugs and diseases, encode scienti c knowledge that can be mined to discover relationships between scienti c concepts. We present PAnG (Patterns in Annotation Graphs), a tool that relies on dense subgraphs, graph summarization and taxonomic distance metrics, computed using the NCI Thesaurus, to identify patterns.
