AB  - BACKGROUND: The goal of the TREC Genomics Track is to improve information 
      retrieval in the area of genomics by creating test collections that will allow 
      researchers to improve and better understand failures of their systems. The 2004 
      track included an ad hoc retrieval task, simulating use of a search engine to 
      obtain documents about biomedical topics. This paper describes the Genomics Track 
      of the Text Retrieval Conference (TREC) 2004, a forum for evaluation of IR 
      research systems, where retrieval in the genomics domain has recently begun to be 
      assessed. RESULTS: A total of 27 research groups submitted 47 different runs. The 
      most effective runs, as measured by the primary evaluation measure of mean 
      average precision (MAP), used a combination of domain-specific and general 
      techniques. The best MAP obtained by any run was 0.4075. Techniques that expanded 
      queries with gene name lists as well as words from related articles had the best 
      efficacy. However, many runs performed more poorly than a simple baseline run, 
      indicating that careful selection of system features is essential. CONCLUSION: 
      Various approaches to ad hoc retrieval provide a diversity of efficacy. The TREC 
      Genomics Track and its test collection resources provide tools that allow 
      improvement in information retrieval systems.
