Curation of Neurodegeneration in BEL (CONIB)
Travis CI PyPI DOI

This knowledge repository, developed during the Human Brain Pharmacome project, contains documents in Biological Expression Language (BEL) describing neurodegenerative disease phenomena such as tauopathies.

Content

  • conib: This folder contains curated BEL documents. Most have been organized by category (protein of interest, biological process of interest, pathway, etc.). Almost BEL documents correspond to a single publication, but a select few contain content from several due to topic-based curation.
  • docs: This folder contains automatically generated HTML summaries of the content that can best be accesed through https://pharmacome.github.io/conib.
  • notebooks: This folder contains various Jupyter notebooks associated with the repository. Since many of them use PyBEL-Jupyter, they may be best viewed using NBViewer.

Here are a few links for navigating the GitHub issues and pull requests:

Installation

conib can be installed from PyPI with the following command:

$ pip install conib

or the latest version can be installed from GitHub with:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/pharmacome/conib.git

Usage

The graph can be loaded with:

import conib

# Get a dictionary of names to graphs
graphs = conib.get_graphs()

# Get all BEL documents as a single graph
graph = conib.get_graph()

# Get all knowledge as INDRA statements
stmts = conib.get_indra_statements()

The latest compiled version of the graph can be retrieved remotely with:

import requests
import pybel

URL = 'https://github.com/pharmacome/conib/raw/master/conib/_cache.bel.nodelink.json'
res_json = requests.get(URL).json()

graph = pybel.from_nodelink(res_json)

# Get INDRA statements
from indra.sources.bel import process_pybel_graph
pbp = process_pybel_graph(graph)
pbp.get_statements()
stmts = pbp.statements

# Quick version
stmts = pybel.to_indra_statements(graph)
