Hi all,
I have a list of proteins that I have found associated with several MeSH disease terms. This is a rather long list of protein-disease pairs, right now as (UniProt AC; MeSH ID). I'd like to have an idea of what proportion of these pairs co-occur in PubMed abstracts and titles.
Diseases are not an issue because I already have the MeSH term, which I can query directly in PubMed. But how about the proteins? How would you guys approach this programmatically?
Thanks!
PS: I'd also like to be able to do this with (GO ID; MeSH ID) and (KEGG ID, MeSH ID) pairs... But this will require a new post, I'm afraid...

I would use the NCBI elink API. For example, to find the pubmed articles for gene id 10364289 ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/10364289 )
it returns the following paper: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21725009
