Why

In my own cancer biomarker research, I often found myself manually checking PubMed for gene relevance. This is a slow and repetitive process. GeneLit is a fast, minimal tool to generate a PubMed literature status for a list of genes, with filters for cancer type, synonyms, and publication dates.

Features

• Easy-to-fill input form for genes, cancer type, and time range
• Optional email and API key input for faster PubMed querying
• Automatic retries on occasional network failures
• Clean output with novel gene indication and recent PubMed IDs
