PubMeth focusses on methylation data, found in the literature. How was it created?

• It is built with the power of textmining, a good start to obtain complete, up-to-date records.
  Advantages of such an approach are for instance:
  multiple aliasses of a gene are searched, as a whole bunch of methylation-related keywords and detection technologies.
  Sorting and marking of the results speeds up the annotation process

• Afterwards, records are manually annotated, making this a high quality database with the data as accurate and complete as possible

• Figure, illustrating the initial filling-up process:
