title = "A text mining approach to explore IFNε literature and biological mechanisms",
abstract = "Interferons (IFN) constitute a primary line of protection against mucosal infection, with IFN research spanning over 60 years and encompassing a vast ever-expanding amount of literature. Most of what is currently understood has been derived from extensive research defining the roles of {"}classical{"} type I IFNs, IFNα and IFNβ. However, little is known regarding responses elicited by less well-characterized IFN subtypes such as IFNε. In this paper, we combined a deductive text mining analysis of IFNε literature characterizing literature-derived knowledge with a comparative analysis of other type I and type III IFNs. Utilizing these approaches, three clusters of terms were extracted from the literature covering different aspects of IFNε research and a set of 47 genes uniquely cited in the context of IFNε. The use of these {"}in silico{"} approaches support the expansion of current understanding and the creation of new knowledge surrounding IFNε.",
