Here are some new and freely accessible biomedical databases:

Drug2Gene: It’s free and unifies a number of popular public resources to provide structured and organized information for identified and reported relations between genes/proteins and drugs/compounds. It allows user’s interactive management by the ability to flag, comment and update relations, to import new drug-gene relations valuable for a specific project. Gene orthology and similarity information is matched to certain relationship entries assisting the prediction of new unreported drug-gene associations. You can go to the original source of the reported relation and explore for more facts, details and evidences...

PhenomicDB: It's a free multi-organism phenotype-genotype data repository unifying a variety of primary sources to make phenotypic data from a wide range of species and model organisms simultaneously searchable, visible and comparable. Gene orthology and similarity information mapped to particular entries, and the phenotypic data clustering system, provide facilities for the discovery of new phenotypic manifestations of a given genotype. Reported genotype-phenotype relationships are supported by evidence and reference links.

Here is a free online tool for text extraction analysis (new functionalities are to be added):

WebRT: Metalife Web Recognition Tool is a light text mining tool developed for online text analysis of diverse-type biomedical and molecular biology literature contents. Its main function is terms/phrase extraction and categorization with the ability to recognize synonyms, acronyms and spelling variations, to normalize and unify hits, to distinguish between seemingly equal terms with different categorization, etc. Relations extraction is expected soon...
