This dialog box displays the detailed information concerning the selected genes retrieved from the PubMed, KEGG and MIM databases. You can extract this information either for a selected subset of genes or for all the genes in the network.
The set of genes upon which gene mining is performed depends on the canvas selection at the time of the execution of the Analyze | Gene Mining command in the following way:
a. if a gene subnetwork exists on the canvas, then gene mining is performed upon the genes of this subnetwork
b. otherwise, if the normal selection is not empty then gene mining is performed upon the set of selected genes
c. otherwise, if none of genes in the network is selected, the gene mining is performed on all genes in the network.
The Gene Mining dialog box uses an internal database which is periodically updated. CI checks at each startup for the new version of this database and ask you whether you want to download the newer file from the server. You may enable/disable this check in the Preferences Dialog Box.
