# Dataset Card for GNormPlus

## Dataset Description

- **Homepage:** https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/research/bionlp/Tools/gnormplus/
- **Pubmed:** True
- **Public:** True
- **Tasks:** NER,NED


We re-annotated two existing gene corpora. The BioCreative II GN corpus is a widely used data set for benchmarking GN
tools and includes document-level annotations for a total of 543 articles (281 in its training set; and 262 in test).
The Citation GIA Test Collection was recently created for gene indexing at the NLM and includes 151 PubMed abstracts
with both mention-level and document-level annotations. They are selected because both have a focus on human genes.
For both corpora, we added annotations of gene families and protein domains. For the BioCreative GN corpus, we also
added mention-level gene annotations. As a result, in our new corpus, there are a total of 694 PubMed articles.
PubTator was used as our annotation tool along with BioC formats.
