The BioLT tool can be used to extract domain-specific information within custom text-mining projects. The BioLT engine was used, for example, as the core data-mining component to develop an oncology knowledge base in which valuable, curated BioLT results fuel semantic networks within the BioXM(TM) Knowledge Management Framework. The BioXM platform allows text-mined information to be put into a larger context. For example, mined relationships between genes, diseases and compounds can be linked to clinical, phenotype, genotype genotype (jēn`ətīp'): see genetics.
genotype

Genetic makeup of an organism. The genotype determines the hereditary potentials and limitations of an individual.
 and experimental data for comprehensive R&D project management.
