Menagerie
Menagerie is a text-mining software program specifically designed to address the animal to human translational gap and to support in silico animal research. It interrogates PubMed abstracts to populate a curated database. This can be used to assess translational potential of new therapies or molecular mechanisms by assessing the global contribution of many animal models simultaneously. Its intent is to reduce animal use in research. It currently supports research on Parkinson’s Disease.
