Current uses of text mining and desired uses

Status	Specific use cases of text-mining tools
Current	Finding gene names and symbols (gene indexing) Querying full text with Textpresso Assigning GO cellular component terms
Future/desired	Improving gene indexing results Performing document triage Recognizing additional biological concepts (disease, anatomy) Capturing terms from additional ontologies (e.g. GO, particularly molecular function and biological process) Capturing complex relations such as gene regulation
