Informatics methods, such as text mining and natural language processing, are
always involved in bioinformatics research. In this study, we discuss text mining
and natural language processing methods in bioinformatics from two perspectives.
First, we aim to search for knowledge on biology, retrieve references using text
mining methods, and reconstruct databases. For example, protein-protein
interactions and gene-disease relationship can be mined from PubMed. Then, we
analyze the applications of text mining and natural language processing
techniques in bioinformatics, including predicting protein structure and
function, detecting noncoding RNA. Finally, numerous methods and applications, as
well as their contributions to bioinformatics, are discussed for future use by
text mining and natural language processing researchers.
