Try pairing the most plausible meaning with the identifier in a PubMed or Google Scholar query, e.g.:
If none of those portals return a hit, you may be dealing with a identifier. 2. Disambiguate “WID” | Possible Meaning | Typical Context | Keywords for Searching | |---|---|---| | Wiedemann–Rautenstrauch syndrome | Rare developmental disorder | “Wiedemann Rautenstrauch syndrome”, “WRS”, “ANNINC992J” | | Wnt‑induced differentiation | Cell‑signalling pathway | “Wnt induced differentiation”, “WID”, “RNA‑seq”, “lncRNA” | | Width (phenotypic measurement) | Morphometrics, imaging | “cell width”, “root width”, “plant architecture”, “ANNINC992J” | | Wide‑field Imaging Detector | Microscopy hardware | “WID microscope”, “wide‑field imaging detector”, “fluorescence” | | World Integrated Database (WID) | Data‑integration platform | “World Integrated Database”, “WID”, “bioinformatics” |
# Search PubMed for the exact term (case‑insensitive) esearch -db pubmed -query "ANNINC992J[All Fields]" | \ efetch -format uid | \ xargs -n1 -I{} esummary -db pubmed -id {} | \ jq '.result[].title' | less Replace ANNINC992J with any variant you want to test. The output will list any PubMed titles that contain the string. At present there is no publicly indexed paper that explicitly mentions “ANNINC992J” together with “WID.”
