===Literature analysis===
{{main|Text mining|Biomedical text mining}}

The enormous number of published literature makes it virtually impossible for individuals to read every paper, resulting in disjointed sub-fields of research. Literature analysis aims to employ computational and statistical linguistics to mine this growing library of text resources. For example:
* Abbreviation recognition – identify the long-form and abbreviation of biological terms
* [[Named-entity recognition]] – recognizing biological terms such as gene names
* Protein–protein interaction – identify which [[protein]]s interact with which proteins from text

The area of research draws from [[statistics]] and [[computational linguistics]].
