Analysis, annotation and curation of biomedical scientific literature is a recurrent task in biomedical research, database curation and clinics. Commonly, the reading is centered on concepts such as genes, diseases or molecules. Database curators may also need to annotate published abstracts related to a specific topic. However, few free and intuitive tools exist to assist users in this context. Therefore, we developed PubTerm, a web tool to organize, categorize, curate and annotate a large number of PubMed abstracts related to biological entities such as genes, diseases, chemicals, species, sequence variants and other related information.
