  • Method and system for normalization of gene names in medical text
    Patent number: 11594303
    Abstract: A method (100) for standardizing gene nomenclature, comprising: (i) receiving (110) a source; (ii) tokenizing (120) the source; (iii) comparing (130) a first token to a prefix tree structure with a root node, edges, and leaf nodes; (iv) determining (140) which edge extending from the root node to associated first leaf nodes the first token matches; (v) updating (150) an identification pointer with the location of the first leaf node; (vi) determining (160) which of one or more edges that a second token matches; (vii) updating (170) the identification pointer with the location of the second leaf node; (viii) repeating (172) the determining (160) and updating (170) steps with subsequent tokens until a subsequent token fails to match an edge extending from a leaf node or there is no edge extending from the leaf node; and (ix) providing (180) an identification of a canonical gene name.
