| "text": "The number of peer-reviewed publications in molecular biology, biotechnology, and biomedical research increases exponentially every year. There is a considerable number of published papers on any one mainstream biomedical research topic, potentially hundreds of thousands of relevant articles. For many areas of study, simply reading every paper is unrealistic, or even physically impossible. When studying biological systems, such as intracellular signaling networks, this problem is apparent -accurate representation of all relevant signaling events requires extensive, expert knowledge acquired over many years of study. By using natural language processing, machine readers are capable of extracting interactions from hundreds or thousands of papers in a matter of hours, achieving a substantial speedup over manual information extraction (Bj\u00f6rne & Salakoski, 2011) . For this reason, automated methods for information extraction, such as machine reading, are used to retrieve information about intracellular signaling networks, and this information can then be used for model assembly or extension. While automated methods accelerate model assembly, the time required for processing all selected papers still depends on the number and the type of papers chosen for machine reading (Holtzapple, Telmer, & Miskov-Zivanov, 2020) .", | |

| "text": "To retrieve relevant papers for machine reading, a common method is to query databases that contain biomedical literature. One repository for biomedical literature, MEDLINE, contains over 27 million papers (Fiorini, Lipman, & Lu, 2017) , and a common method for retrieving papers from MEDLINE is through its associated search engine, PubMed. Querying MEDLINE through PubMed is particularly useful for identifying papers on a specific context such as disease or cell type. It is also used for identification of individual proteins, signaling pathways, and general cell processes in one specific context. One example of a PubMed query that targets a single pathway in a specific context is '\"Hippo pathway\" AND \"stem cells\"'. This query returns 272 papers, many of which describe Hippo pathway signaling trends in cancerous stem cells, as well as non-cancerous stem cells. These papers contain a wealth of information about the mechanistic causes of stemness. However, retrieval of these papers requires a priori knowledge that the Hippo pathway is important in stem cell maintenance and renewal. Additionally, these papers describe one small facet of stem cell signaling, and do not contain all the information needed to understand the system. To widen our perspective, we could retrieve all papers in MEDLINE that concern stem cells by querying PubMed with \"stem cells\". Here, we encounter two obstacles -this query returns over 271,000 papers, many of which describe morphological or anatomical details, and not signaling pathways.", | |

These methods have several disadvantages. First, paper retrieval may depend on the cooperation of one or more experts in the field. Even for automated techniques that locate papers through related citations, or sematic analysis, some level of prior knowledge is needed.

| "text": "We present here a methodology for automated query design that does not rely on manual steps of the domain expert. To address the potential role of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in disease mechanisms, we infer queries from biological data. Under-or over-expressed genes in the disease state are often the ones that play a role in disease progression (Armstrong et al., 2002) . Identifying these contextual DEGs and using them as query terms focuses literature reading on genes and proteins that have altered signaling trends, and therefore, it facilitates further exploration of intracellular signaling networks that are potentially affected in disease. Our method utilizes gene expression data to find possible genes of interest based on their relative expression changes in response to disease, infection, etc. These genes of interest are used in the query to narrow down all possible PubMed hits to relevant signaling papers only. Furthermore, we also take into consideration how well-known each gene is, to choose the optimal number of gene terms in a query. Our results show that automated query design using these methods returns relevant signaling papers, and interactions extracted from these papers are informative and useful when reasoning about the queried context. This addresses a well-established problem in precision medicine -altered signaling pathways are often unique to one patient or environment and are difficult to study manually. Our methodology can be used in conjunction with any state-of-the-art model assembly techniques to aid in understanding affected signaling mechanisms in patient or cell line-specific systems. This methodology will provide an automated framework to retrieve research papers and streamline the process of model assembly. Our proposed automated query design methodology is outlined in Figure 1 .", | |

Next, we sort the transcripts in a descending order of their values (i.e., descending magnitude of change), and select a threshold for the value, to ensure that all genes used as query terms are relevant to the dataset context. Specifically, we use 2.0 as a threshold, that is, we remove from the sorted list those transcripts that have < 2.0. The standard threshold for is usually 2.0 or 1.5 (Huang et al., 2015) , based on what a cell biologist would consider notable or likely due to the effect of the disease or altered state, and not just noise in gene expression. While we use \u2265 2.0, the user can adjust this threshold to suit the research context (i.e., diseases or cell types with more or less DEGs than expected). We will refer to the transcripts remaining in the sorted list as DEGs. As probable indicators of a disease state, these DEGs become candidates for query terms. To give an estimate of an expected size of the sorted DEG list, previous work on analyzing many RNA-seq datasets over a wide range of conditions, including disease, tissues, cell types, drug treatments, etc., has shown that the median number of DEGs (with \u2265 2.0) per dataset is 92 (Crow, Lim, Ballouz, Pavlidis, & Gillis, 2019) . However, as many as 10,000 DEGs per dataset were also observed, although rarely.

For example, in PubMed, the \"popularity\" of genes varies widely: TP53 is a well-known oncogene with over 100,000 papers found in PubMed, and therefore, any query containing \"p53\" will return more papers than a query using a novel gene.", | |

| "text": "Thus, to estimate the impact of each DEG, as a possible query term, on the number of papers retrieved, we propose to utilize the annotation information provided by the UniProt database (The UniProt Consortium, 2017). This database contains information on the gene itself, known transcripts, as well as information on the gene product, if available. Each gene in the UniProt database has an assigned annotation score, which is an amalgamation of evidence of the gene and gene product's existence, including crossreferences in other databases, known aliases, experimental evidence, and more. We use this annotation score as a measure of how established a gene is in the literature. For manually annotated genes, where the evidence has been reviewed by an expert, the score is higher. The annotation score has an integer value in the interval between 1 and 5, where score of 5 indicates ample evidence of the protein in existing literature and databases, and score of 1 indicates little to no available information about the protein. For example, the TP53 gene in humans (UniProt ID P04637), a wellknown tumor suppressor, has an annotation score of 5, while the OATL1 transcript in humans (UniProt ID B4DF03), which has not been observed at the protein level, has an annotation score of 1.", | |

The combination of these two measures allows the design of queries for different objectives or tasks, for example, to search for literature that contains a few well-known (high annotation score) proteins, or many novel or unstudied (low annotation score) proteins. Furthermore, by incorporating the UniProt annotation score to choose terms, we can automatically design queries that will lead to a selection of a manageable number of papers. In other words, the optimal number of papers would be the one large enough to provide adequate information on the system and small enough to still be processed in a feasible amount of time. What would be considered the \"optimal\" number of papers depends on both the complexity of the context of interest, as well as the allocated resources for information extraction. For example, a researcher using a machine reader to process literature on diabetes will require many more papers than someone who wants to read papers manually. Additionally, the number of papers found in a literature database as a result of the query will be different for each user depending on the input dataset, annotation score, and the addition of new publications in the literature database, and so this method allows to tailor the query design process to the user's research goals.

For each query, we retrieve all machine reading statements in the INDRA database (Gyori et al., 2017) that are associated with at least one paper in our reading set. The INDRA database is a system that incorporates natural language processing tools and standardized databases to collect biomedical signaling events. INDRA relies on several different machine readers to process papers and supply information on signaling events. The interactions output by readers are directed, and therefore, they can be used in the process of assembly or extension of dynamic models, in order to explain mechanisms and timing of the disease. Although the query term DEGs that were selected following our method described in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 are likely to participate in these interactions, it is important to note that the interactions output by readers will include many other relevant genes and proteins. Thus, these extracted interactions are expected to provide the information on intracellular signaling networks that is potentially critical for the context originally selected by the user and included as a term in the generated query (equation 2).", | |

We use PANTHER (Mi, Muruganujan, Ebert, Huang, & Thomas, 2018) to calculate enriched Gene Ontology (GO) terms (Ashburner et al., 2000) in the proteinprotein interactions within our interaction sets for each query. In the GO database, genes and proteins are annotated with known cellular functions. Each GO term has a list of proteins involved in the biological process, and PANTHER calculates representation of all known GO terms for each interaction set. For GO terms that have a greater number of genes found in the interaction set than would be expected by chance, we consider this GO term statistically enriched. To assess whether enriched GO terms are similar, we use NaviGo to calculate the Resnik similarity score between all GO terms (described in (Wei, Khan, Ding, Yerneni, & Kihara, 2017) ). By determining highly enriched GO terms, we can draw conclusions about what signaling pathways and biological processes are represented in our paper sets for each query.", | |

These results, taken together, show that these queries retrieve papers that contain relevant signaling events that can be interpreted by machine readers, and describe highly related biological processes.

Specifically, finding all relevant literature for the context at hand can be difficult, and brute force methods for selecting papers are too slow. By incorporating biological data in our queries, we can select relevant literature, and control the size of the reading sets. Our results show that using DEGs to formulate queries allows for targeting literature that could help explain differentially regulated pathways in disease. One side effect of this method is identification of DEGs in disease where there is little to no literature presence. In such cases, our proposed method could become critical, as it automatically identifies the gaps in our collective knowledge of certain diseases, and thus, suggests important research directions. For DEGs that return no additional results when used as a query term, this indicates the gene has an undiscovered role in the context of interest.", | |

The relative presence of different diseases in PubMed affects the size of the reading set, independent of the number of gene query terms. By incorporating preliminary data on the presence of a disease or context in PubMed, we can adjust the annotation score. Additionally, since this method hinges on a list of affected genes or proteins with quantifiable differences from a control state, other measures of relative changes in cell function could also be used. Data on changes in post-translational modification of proteins, changes in epigenetic markers such as methylation, open chromatin, or histone modifications, or even somatic mutations could also be used, especially as such entities and events can be output by the state-of-the-art machine reading. Testing our methods on different datasets would help showcase the usefulness of our approach. In the future, we would also like to compare our method to a literature corpus assembled by an expert. However, since our queries are based on cell line-specific gene expression datasets, there are no existing corpuses for comparison. Future work includes assembling said corpuses and comparing to our method presented in this work. ", | |
