Additionally, this package also heavily builds on INDRA [2] and PyBEL [3].

Installation

bel_enrichment can be installed from PyPI with the following command:

$ pip install bel_enrichment

The latest version can be installed from GitHub with:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/bel-enrichment/bel-enrichment.git

You’ll need to set the INDRA_DB_REST_URL and INDRA_DB_REST_API_KEY in the ~/.config/indra/config.ini file. Please contact the INDRA team for credentials.

Rational Enrichment

Generate a folder full of curation sheets based on the given BEL graph that has been pre-compiled by PyBEL. Use --info-cutoff to specify the minimum information density cutoff. 1.0 means that the node has no edges, .5 means one edge, and so on. Use --belief-cutoff to specify the minimum belief score from INDRA for adding the statement to the sheet. Higher belief means the more chance a statement is already right.

$ bel-enrichment from-graph zhang2011.bel --directory ~/Desktop/zhang-enrichment

Generate a ranking for genes based on the information content in a given BEL graph that has been pre-compiled by PyBEL.

$ bel-enrichment ranks zhang2011.bel

Document-Based Curation

If you want to make a curation sheet based on a PubMed identifier (or list of them) do this:

$ bel-enrichment from-pmids 20585587 20585588 > ~/Desktop/document_based.tsv

Topic-Based Curation

If you want to make a curation sheet based on an entity, do this:

$ bel-enrichment from-agents MAPT GSK3B > ~/Desktop/topic_based.tsv
