KnetMiner

Knowledge Network Miner is a system of tools used to integrate, search, and visualize biological knowledge graphs. It is used to search for information across large biological databases and literature to find links between genes, traits, diseases, and other relevant information.

Current KnetMiners (non-exhaustive)

KnetMiner KGs are built using the data integration platform, KnetBuilder, with output available in OXL, Neo4j, and RDF graph formats. It follows FAIR data principles and supports a variety of biological data formats. The KnetMiner API provides web endpoints that enable users to search for specific genes and keywords, returning results in the form of a knowledge graph.
Originally developed through a collaboration of researchers at Rothamsted Research, KnetMiner has undergone further development and has initiated a spin-out process.
KnetMiner hosts a range of different species, including a knowledge graph dedicated to SARS-CoV-2 in response to the 2020 global pandemic, on Rothamsted Research HPC machines.
Species included in KnetMiner's knowledge graphs:

KnetMiner has been involved in several studies, including studies for wheat, willow, and SARS-CoV-2. It is also being used for exploring pathogen-host interactions in collaboration with PHI-base, soybean loopers, and other species.

API access

KnetMiner uses REST API access to obtain either JSON outputs of each view type or network views for certain searches.

Funding

KnetMiner is funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, a UK research council.
