Biomedical Concept Annotation Tool, API and Widget

About

becas is a web application, API and widget for biomedical concept identification. It helps researchers, healthcare professionals and developers in the identification of over 1,200,000 biomedical concepts in text and PubMed abstracts.

becas provides annotations for isolated, nested and intersected entities. It identifies concepts from multiple semantic groups, providing preferred names and enriching them with references to public knowledge resources. You can choose the types of entities you want to identify and highlight or mute specific entities in real-time.

To facilitate annotation of PubMed abstracts, becas automatically fetches publications from NCBI servers and renders them with identified concepts highlighted.
