Identification of highly related references about gene-disease association

BMC Bioinformatics

Table 7 Two references ranked by PubMed, CRFref, and the best baselines (BM25 + PosFreq and PRE + PosFreq): CRFref ranked the target reference at top-3, while PubMed and the baselines preferred the non-target reference

Reference	Position
Reference	PubMed	BM25 + PosFreq	PRE + PosFreq	CRFref
Target reference (PubMed ID: 10791557)	34^th	5^th	6^th	3^rd
Non-target reference (PubMed ID: 12972407)	13^th	1^st	1^st	6^th

PubMed ranked the target reference at the 34^th position, indicating that for an expert that employed PubMed to identify references to curate the gene-disease association, 33 references needed to be read and checked, which was a burden for the expert.
