Welcome to Gene2MeSH
Gene2MeSH uses a statistical approach to reliably and automatically annotate genes with the concepts defined in MeSH, the National Library of Medicine's controlled vocabulary for biology and medicine. The Gene2MeSH web application searches gene symbols or MeSH terms and displays resulting pairs of genes and MeSH terms that match the search term. The gene / MeSH term pairs displayed are those that are significantly associated in PubMed abstracts and are ordered highest to lowest by significance score.
