Publication: Medicinal chemistry in the era of big data

On July 14, 2015, Posted by , In Publications, By ,, , With Comments Off on Publication: Medicinal chemistry in the era of big data

In the era of big data medicinal chemists are exposed to an enormous amount of bioactivity data. Numerous public data sources allow for querying across medium to large data sets mostly compiled from literature. However, the data available are still quite incomplete and of mixed quality. This mini review will…

On February 21, 2015, Posted by , In Publications, By ,,,,, , With Comments Off on Publication: Extraction of relations between genes and diseases from text and large-scale data analysis: implications for translational research

Background Current biomedical research needs to leverage and exploit the large amount of information reported in scientific publications. Automated text mining approaches, in particular those aimed at finding relationships between entities, are key for identification of actionable knowledge from free text repositories. We present the BeFree system aimed at identifying…

Integration of open access, curated, high-quality information from multiple disciplines in the Life and Biomedical Sciences provides a holistic understanding of the domain. Additionally, the effective linking of diverse data sources can unearth hidden relationships and guide potential research strategies. However, given the lack of consistency between descriptors and identifiers…

Publication: Using the BioAssy Ontology for Analyzing High-Throughput Screening Data

On December 15, 2014, Posted by , In Publications, By ,,,,,,, , With Comments Off on Publication: Using the BioAssy Ontology for Analyzing High-Throughput Screening Data

High-throughput screening (HTS) is the main starting point for hit identification in drug discovery programs. This has led to a rapid increase of available screening data both within pharmaceutical companies and the public domain. We have used the BioAssay Ontology (BAO) 2.0 for assay annotation within AstraZeneca to enable comparison…

Modern data-driven drug discovery requires integrated resources to support decision-making and enable new discoveries. The Open PHACTS Discovery Platform (http://dev.openphacts.org) was built to address this requirement by focusing on drug discovery questions that are of high priority to the pharmaceutical industry. Although complex, most of these frequently asked questions (FAQs)…

Publication: On the formulation of performant SPARQL queries

On November 15, 2014, Posted by , In Publications, By ,,, , With Comments Off on Publication: On the formulation of performant SPARQL queries

The combination of the flexibility of RDF and the expressiveness of SPARQL provides a powerful mechanism to model, integrate and query data. However, these properties also mean that it is nontrivial to write performant SPARQL queries. Indeed, it is quite easy to create queries that tax even the most optimised…
