Acknowledgment
We much appreciate the fundamental contribution of all the data providers, authors,
open biological ontologies, identifier registries, open-source projects and standards,
which made creating of this web service possible.
- WAREHOUSE data (canonical molecules, ontologies) are converted to BioPAX utility classes, such as EntityReference, ControlledVocabulary, EntityFeature sub-classes, and saved as the initial BioPAX model, which forms the foundation for integrating pathway data and for id-mapping.
- PATHWAY and binary interaction data (interactions, participants) are normalized and merged into the database. Original reference molecules are replaced with the corresponding BioPAX warehouse objects.
- MAPPING data are used to improve the ID-mapping, data merging, and make the graph queries easier to use.
