Abstract (EN): This paper reports the participation of the InfoLab at the TREC Precision Medicine Track 2018. InfoLab is an informal group that brings together researchers with interest in the information area and is located at Faculty of Engineering of University of Porto. The experiments made in this participation include query expansion approaches for the disease and gene concepts. The expansion of the disease terms was done using Unified Medical Language System (UMLS). UMLS is a repository that provides the mapping between a large number of vocabularies. The gene terms were expanded using Ensembl. Ensembl provides a genome browser that maps genes to their synonyms. An additional layer was developed on top of Terrier to provide the execution of a large batch of experiments. Multiple runs were evaluated in order to measure the influence of each expansion approach.
