+GeneCup automatically extracts information from PubMed and NHGRI-EBI GWAS catalog on the relationship of any gene with a custom list of keywords hierarchically organized into an ontology. The users create an ontology by identifying categories of concepts and a list of keywords for each concept.
As an example, we created an ontology for drug addiction related concepts over 300 of these keywords are organized into six categories:
* names of abused drugs, e.g., opioids

## Mini PubMed for testing
For testing or code development, it is useful to have a small collection of PubMed abstracts in the same format as the local PubMed mirror. We provide 2473 abstracts that can be used to test four gene symbols (gria1, crhr1, drd2, and penk).
