Sciome, a leader in innovative bioinformatics research, has developed a groundbreaking approach to understanding human biology and toxicology through the creation of specialized knowledge graphs. These cutting-edge tools, designed by Sciome’s researchers, integrate complex biological data from multiple sources, such as scientific databases and expert-curated information, into clear, interconnected visual models.
Unlike traditional knowledge graphs, Sciome’s pioneering method incorporates context-specific data, especially focusing on differences across human tissues such as the liver, kidney, and heart. By analyzing thousands of high-quality gene expression samples, the team constructed tissue-specific knowledge graphs that precisely validate biological annotations previously done by hand. This innovative approach ensures a more accurate and relevant representation of human biology.
These advanced knowledge graphs hold great promise, especially for toxicology, enabling researchers to quickly generate clear, mechanistic hypotheses tailored to specific tissues. The graphs also provide a transparent explanation of experimental results, enhancing researchers’ understanding of biological processes. Sciome’s approach, grounded in extensive human-based laboratory data, marks a significant advancement in the field and offers a versatile platform with wide-ranging potential across biomedical research.
