KnowEnG Knowledge Network

The KnowEnG Knowledge Network (KN) represents community data sets as a massive heterogeneous network, composed primarily of genes (Gene Nodes) and their annotations (Property Nodes) as well as their mutual relationships (Edges). The KN attempts to identify many relevant knowledge bases (Resources), to download their current contents (Datasets) regularly, and to clean and consolidate those disparate resources and construct a unified knowledge graph of multiple relationships (Edge Types) ready for integration with analytic methods.

Detailed information about the Knowledge Network contents can be found here.

More information about mapping gene names and fetching subnetworks can be found here.
