How I became intestested in graphs

http://blog.dhimmel.com/friendship-network/

My Facebook friendship network in 2014

Graphs are composed of:

  • Nodes
  • Relationships

Nodes / relationships have type:

  • node types
    (person, course, university)
  • relationship types
    (lecturer, institution)
  • first_name: Daniel
  • last_name: Himmelstein
  • twitter: @dhimmel
  • SSN: 012-34-5678 
  • catalog: CIS550
  • title: Database & Information Systems
  • units: 5
  • catalog: EPID600
  • title: Data Science for Biomedical Informatics
  • units: 1
  • url: www.upenn.edu
  • founded: 1740
  • type: private
  • league: ivy
  • grade: A-
  • grade: B
  • grade: F

What can we do with this graph?

  • Course statistics:
    How many students are in CIS 550?
     
  • Course recommendations:
    What courses do other students in CIS 550 take?
     
  • Course scheduling:
    What room should a course be in so it's nearby other courses that its students are enrolled in?

networks with multiple node or relationship types

multilayer network, multiplex network, multivariate network, multinetwork, multirelational network, multirelational data, multilayered network, multidimensional network, multislice network, multiplex of interdependent networks, hypernetwork, overlay network, composite network, multilevel network, multiweighted graph, heterogeneous network, multitype network, interconnected networks, interdependent networks, partially interdependent networks, network of networks, coupled networks, interconnecting networks, interacting networks, heterogenous information network

A 2012 Study identified 26 different names for this type of network:

hetnet

What's the best software for storing and querying hetnets?

Visualizing Hetionet v1.0

  • Hetnet of biology for drug repurposing
     
  • ~50 thousand nodes
    11 types (labels)
     
  • ~2.25 million relationships
    24 types
     
  • integrates 29 public resources
    knowledge from millions of studies

Hetionet v1.0

  • Nodes
    • standardized vocabularies
    • stable, unambiguous identifiers
       
  • Relationships:
    • Omics scale required
    • Literature mining
    • High throughput experimental technologies
    • Avoid manual mapping
       
  • Versioned data dependencies with GitHub commit hash URLs
    pandas-dev/pandas#14576

Constructing Hetionet v1.0

>>> import phd
  • Customized Docker image
  • Digital Ocean droplet
  • SSL from Let's Encrypt
  • readonly mode with a query execution timeout
  • Custom GRASS style
  • Custom guides

Public Hetionet Neo4j Instance

Project Rephetio: drug repurposing predictions

  • Hetionet v1.0 contains:
    • 1,538 connected compounds
    • 136 connected diseases
    • 209,168 compound–disease pairs
    • 755 treatments
  • Systematic drug repurposing:
    • Compare the therapeutic utility of data types
    • Identify the mechanisms of drug efficacy
    • Predict the probability of treatment for all 209,168 compound–disease pairs (het.io/repurpose)
  • Project online at thinklab.com/p/rephetio

Project Rephetio: Does bupropion treat nicotine dependence?

  • Bupropion was first approved for depression in 1985
     
  • In 1997, bupropion was approved for smoking cessation
     
  • Can we predict this repurposing from Hetionet? The prediction was:

Compound–causes–SideEffect–causes–Compound–treats–Disease

Compound–binds–Gene–binds–Compound–treats–Disease

Compound–binds–Gene–associates–Disease

Compound–binds–Gene–participates–Pathway–participates–Disease

Nice of you to share this big network with everyone; however, I think you need to take care not to get yourself into legal trouble here. … 

I am not trying to cause trouble here — just the contrary. When making a meta-resource, licenses and copyright law are not something you can afford to ignore. I regularly leave out certain data sources from my resources for legal reasons.

One network to rule them all

We have completed an initial version of our network. …

Network existence (SHA256 checksum for graph.json.gz) is proven in Bitcoin block 369,898.

  • Hetionet (≤ v1.0) integrated data from 31 resources:
    • 5 United States Government works
    • 12 openly licensed
    • 4 non-commercial use only
    • 9 were all rights reserved
    • 1 explicitly & contractually forbid reuse
  • Requested permission for 11 resources:
    • median time to first response was 16 days
    • 2 affirmative responses
  • Other considerations:
    • who owns data
    • incompatibilities: share alike vs non-commercial
    • copyright status of data & fair use
  • Solution: license attribute per node/relationship

Legal barriers to data reuse

Recommendations:

  1. release data under an open license
  2. University researchers: commit to open in your resource sharing plan

Future: all biomedical knowledge in a single network

https://github.com/greenelab/snorkeling

  • Teach computers how to read the literature and extract knowledge.
     
  • Continuously and automatically refine and grow the hetnet.
     
  • Free from any legal restrictions on reuse.
