BioGraph computing kernel daemon
Provides an XMLRPC service to compute pageranks, find related entities, find paths between entities, from entities or entity sets, does comparisons between collections. An example client library for ruby (biographclient.rb
) and test client (client.rb
) are provided.
Biograph (developed at UA and VIB) is a web service that integrates biomedical knowledge bases and allows researchers to relate various biomedical concepts to candidate targets, for example to investigate potential genetic candidates for hereditary diseases, or to find chemical compounds to target disease-related proteins. Biomedical relations among seemingly unrelated concepts are supported by relevant automated functional hypotheses.
Please refer to our open access journal paper for more information about Biograph:
