LocationInteractions_EID2: Species Presence Evidence from NCBI Sequences and Publications

LocationInteractions_EID2 is a dataset linking species to geographic locations with evidence counts. It was created by Maya Wardeh using evidence extracted from the NCBI sequences and PubMed databases. The data includes species names, taxonomic classifications, country and region locations, and counts of supporting nucleotide sequences and publications.

Use Cases

• Predicting species geographic distribution based on sequence and publication evidence counts.
• Analyzing research publication density for different species and regions based on the provided PubMed identifiers.
• Building taxonomic-geographic knowledge graphs using the species classification and location fields.
• Validating species occurrence records by cross-referencing the provided NCBI sequence identifiers.

Strengths

• Evidence is sourced from two authoritative public databases: NCBI sequences and PubMed.
• Provides direct identifiers (GIs and PMIDs) for retrieving the underlying source evidence.
• Locations are interpreted at two administrative levels: country and region.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
