Cell-Line Annotation on Europe PubMed Central

A cell line is a cell culture developed from a single cell and therefore consisting of cells with a uniform genetic make-up. A cell line has an important role as a research resource such as organisms, antibodies, constructs, knockdown reagents, etc. Unique identification of cell lines in the biomedical literature is important for the reproducibility of science. As data citation, resource citation is also important for resource re-use.\n\nIn this paper, we mention the challenges of identifying cell lines and describe a system for cell line annotation with perluminary results.
