Het.io Website Review

Hetnets — short for heterogeneous networks — are networks with multiple node or relationship types. They provide a scalable, intuitive, and frictionless structure for data integration and translation of biomedical knowledge. Hetionet is a network that integrates knowledge from over 50 years of biomedical into a single resource. Hetionet encodes biology through its 47,031 nodes of 11 types and 2,250,197 relationships of 24 types. Version 1.0 was created for Project Rephetio and is therefore ideally suited for drug repurposing. We host a public Neo4j Browser allowing setup-free interaction with Hetionet. Project Rephetio used Hetionet v1.0 to predict new uses for existing compounds. Our hetnet edge prediction method learned a systematic model of drug efficacy, which we applied to predict the probability of treatment between 1,538 approved small molecule compounds and 136 Using heterogeneous network edge prediction on a network with 18 node types (metanodes) and 19 edge types (metaedges), we predict the probability that each protein-coding gene is as*ociated with each of 29 complex human diseases. Reported as*ociations from the GWAS Catalog were used to train the model. Potential applications include prioritizing GWAS an*lyses, determining the causal gene within a genomic region, identifying genes of biological interest, and comparing the ability of various information domains to identify The goal of HNEP is to produce biologically-meaningful predictions by integrating multiple high-throughput data sources. The approach computes features describing the network topology connecting two nodes. These features are used as input to a machine learning method which predicts the probability that an edge exists. Through evaluating the informativeness of each feature, the relevance of included domains can be compared providing insight into the influential mechanisms behind the process of interest.
