Repenting for past sins....

Pseudo made the point recently that this is not a 'closed' conversation and that others who may not be as familiar with Ariad's science may need further explanation.

One potential bonanza for those seeking to learn more is the revised PubMed site (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=PubMed). Not only does this site invoke some quite amazing artificial intelligence/language systems, but the NCBI has begun to link all the abstracts to basic textbooks. Thus a reader unfamiliar with a certain topic may quickly link to the section of the textbook associated with hypertext words in the abstract.

For instance, here is Ariad's 'bundling' abstract (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov:80/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=10570170&dopt=Abstract). Look towards the top right - you'll see the hypertext 'Related Articles, Books, LinkOut'. Click on 'Books' (which should take you to here ncbi.nlm.nih.gov:80/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=10570170&dopt=Books).

Now if you click on any of the hyperlinked text in this version of the abstract you will be taken to chapter and/or section headings in Molecular Biology of the Cell (Alerts et al.), probably the best undergraduate text in cell biology extant. Now click on these section/chapter headings and some relevant information from the text will appear.

I'm unclear how efficient this is working since this appears to have been implemented very recently (the Alberts text is the only source thus far). However, the idea is excellent. I can imagine a year or so from now the textbook citation(s) will more closely match the abstract link.
