  • How large is "the bunch of abstracts"?
  • Can you be sure that only the official gene names were used? Or is it possible that also synonyms are used?
  • Are we talking about human genes?

No, I have no obligation to provide you with a solution to your problem. I have provided you with a link to the documentation for an API which I know does something similar to what you're asking. It is your responsibility to read that documentation and work out how to do it. If you get stuck, then you can ask for help, but you have to try first.

Thank you for this link, Emily! I've been looking everywhere for something like this (to extract gene names from unstructured clinical trial text) and haven't been able to find anything until now.

Cheers,

Jessica
