experiments that contributed to the discovery of the DNA. Frederick Griffith experiment was done in 1928‚ Oswald Avery’ was done during the early 1940’s‚ and Alfred Hershey’s with help from Martha Chase was done in 1952. All of these experiments contributed to the idea known as translation‚ the process of cell ribosomes converting proteins to messenger RNA‚ or mRNA.

Abstract Background Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are known mediators of cellular damage in multiple diseases including diabetic complications. Despite its importance‚ no comprehensive database is currently available for the genes associated with ROS. Methods We present ROS- and diabetes-related targets (genes/proteins) collected from the biomedical literature through a text mining technology. A web-based literature mining tool‚ SciMiner‚ was applied to 1‚154 biomedical papers indexed with
