This paper presents the results of the University at Buffalo (UB) in TREC genomics. For this task we used the SMART retrieval system and a pre retrieval expansion method that uses the ABGene and MetaMap tools. We tried two different weighting schemes one using pivoted length normalization (Lnu.ltu) and another using augmented tf-idf (atn.ann). The results show that performance of
