MicrobiomeKG: Bridging Microbiome Research and Host Health Through Knowledge Graphs
Goetz, S.; Glen, A. K.; Glusman, G.
AbstractThe microbiome represents a complex community of trillions of microorganisms residing in various body parts, and plays critical roles in maintaining host health and well-being. Understanding the interactions between microbiota and host offers valuable insights into potential strategies to promote health, including microbiome-targeted interventions. We have created MicrobiomeKG, a Knowledge Graph for microbiome research, bridging various taxa and microbial pathways with host health. This novel knowledge graph derives algorithmically-generated knowledge assertions from the supplemental tables supporting published microbiome papers, and is deployed for integrative analysis and hypothesis generation via the Biomedical Data Translator ecosystem.
