Context
DisGeNET is a discovery platform containing one of the largest publicly available collections of genes and variants associated to human diseases.
This aim is very much in line with that of Open Targets so it would be useful to explore their gene/disease associations dataset. This is an extract of their documentation:
Tasks
To access the data:
gs://ot-team/irene/disgenet/disgenet_2020.db.zip
Evidence are in the
geneDiseaseNetwork
table. Entities are not mapped, however can be extracted:geneAttributes
table. These can be fetched by joining ongeneNID
diseaseAttributes
table. These can be fetched by joining ondiseaseNID
. We can run OnToma on the labels. Alternatively, they make available a LUT table with cross-references between disease labels and different ontologies - available atgs://ot-team/irene/disgenet/disease_mappings.tsv
