# GeneReviews Dataset Extraction

This project extracts text and metadata from GeneReviews® chapters downloaded from NCBI Bookshelf and creates a structured dataset in Hugging Face format.

## Overview

GeneReviews® is an international point-of-care resource for clinicians, providing clinically relevant and medically actionable information for inherited conditions. This project processes the XML files from the GeneReviews database and creates a structured dataset suitable for machine learning and research applications.


### 📈 **Dataset Statistics:**

- **Total Records**: 929 GeneReviews chapters
- **Average Abstract Length**: 899.6 characters
- **Average Content Length**: 56,377.9 characters
- **Total References**: 13,683 references across all chapters
- **Average References per Chapter**: 14.7
- **Chapters with >100 references**: 12 chapters
- **Total Keywords**: 9,616
- **Unique Keywords**: 6,824

## Source Information

- **Source**: [GeneReviews® on NCBI Bookshelf](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1116/)
- **Publisher**: University of Washington, Seattle
- **ISSN**: 2372-0697
- **Content Type**: Clinical reviews of genetic conditions
- **License**: Open access for noncommercial research purposes

## Dataset Structure

Each record in the dataset contains the following fields:

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `id` | string | Unique chapter identifier |
| `ch_id` | string | Chapter ID (as you renamed it) |
| `title` | string | Chapter title |
| `authors` | string | Comma-separated author names |
| `journal` | string | "GeneReviews®" |
| **`abstract`** | **string** | **Chapter abstract/summary only** |
| **`content`** | **string** | **Chapter body content only (excluding abstract)** |
| **`references`** | **array** | **Array of reference citations** |
| `keywords` | array | Keywords and terms |
| `source_url` | string | Link to GeneReviews resource |
| `publication_types` | array | ["Review", "Clinical Review"] |
| `created_date` | string | Creation date |
| `updated_date` | string | Last update date |
| `revised_date` | string | Revision date |


## Files

- `extract_genereviews.py`: Main extraction script
- `load_genereviews_dataset.py`: Script to load and demonstrate the dataset
- `requirements.txt`: Python dependencies
- `genereviews_dataset/`: Hugging Face dataset directory
- `genereviews_dataset.json`: JSON version of the dataset

## Installation

1. Install the required dependencies:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## Usage

```python
from datasets import load_from_disk

# Load the dataset
dataset = load_from_disk("genereviews_dataset")

# Access by chapter
record = dataset[0]
chapter_id = record['ch_id']

# Access separated content
abstract = record['abstract']      # Only the abstract
content = record['content']        # Only the body content
references = record['references']  # Array of reference citations
```

### Search for Specific Conditions

```python
# Search for cystic fibrosis
cf_records = dataset.filter(lambda x: "cystic fibrosis" in x['title'].lower())

# Search for cancer-related content
cancer_records = dataset.filter(lambda x: "cancer" in x['content'].lower())
```

### Analyze Publication Dates

```python
# Find recently updated chapters
recent_updates = dataset.filter(lambda x: "2024" in x['updated_date'])
```

### Extract Keywords

```python
# Get all unique keywords
all_keywords = set()
for record in dataset:
    all_keywords.update(record['keywords'])
```
