chemgraphbuilder 0.1.1

A package to build chemical knowledge graphs using data from PubChem and Neo4j

ChemGraphBuilder

chemgraphbuilder is a Python package designed for transforming chemical data into knowledge graphs. Leveraging PubChem for data extraction and Neo4j for building graph databases, it enables researchers to efficiently extract, process, and visualize complex chemical relationships with precision. The package is built in a way that allows for easy extension to include other data sources in future releases.

Installation

To install ChemGraphBuilder, use pip:

pip install chemgraphbuilder

You can visit this page to get the installation command: PyPI Project Page

Usage

From Python

from chemgraphbuilder.setup_data_folder import SetupDataFolder
from chemgraphbuilder.node_collector_processor import NodesCollectorProcessor
from chemgraphbuilder.relationship_collector_processor import RelationshipsCollectorProcessor
from chemgraphbuilder.graph_nodes_loader import GraphNodesLoader
from chemgraphbuilder.graph_relationships_loader import GraphRelationshipsLoader

# Initialize and setup the data directory before collecting any data
setup_folder = SetupDataFolder()
setup_folder.setup()

# Initialize the collector & Collect and process the data
collector = NodesCollectorProcessor(node_type=node_type, enzyme_list=enzyme_list, start_chunk=0)
collector.collect_and_process_data()

# Initialize the collector & Collect and process the relationship data
collector = RelationshipsCollectorProcessor(relationship_type=relationship_type, start_chunk=0)
collector.collect_relationship_data()

# Initialize the loader & load nodes into neo4j database
graph_nodes_loader = GraphNodesLoader(uri, username, password)
graph_nodes_loader.load_data_for_node_type(label)
graph_nodes_loader.close()

# Initialize the loader & load relationships into neo4j database
graph_relationships_loader = GraphRelationshipsLoader(uri, username, password)
graph_relationships_loader.add_relationships(relationship_type)
graph_relationships_loader.close()

From Command Line

setup-data-folder
collect-process-nodes --node_type Compound --enzyme_list gene1,gene2 --start_chunk 0 # the default start-chunk is 0
collect-process-relationships --relationship_type Assay_Compound --start_chunk 0
load-graph-nodes --uri bolt://localhost:7687 --username neo4j --password password --label Compound
load-graph_relationships --uri bolt://localhost:7687 --username neo4j --password password --relationship_type Assay_Gene

Features

• Node Representation: Incorporates diverse nodes such as compounds, genes, proteins, and bioassays.
• Comprehensive Relationships: Maps out various interactions, including gene-protein relationships, bioassay-gene relationships, bioassay-compound relationships, compound similarities, compound co-occurrences in literature, and more nuanced interactions like inhibitor, activator, ligand, and other roles between compounds and genes.
• Data Integration: The knowledge graph schema is designed to support the integration of additional data sources, enhancing the depth and accuracy of the knowledge graph.
• Command Line and Programmatic Access: Provides flexibility in usage, allowing for integration into larger workflows or standalone analyses.
