    MINT and IntAct contribute to the Second BioCreative challenge: serving the text-mining community with high quality molecular interaction data

    In the absence of consolidated pipelines to archive biological data electronically, information dispersed in the literature must be captured by manual annotation. Unfortunately, manual annotation is time consu...
