Ontology Mapping and Data Discovery for the Translational Investigator
نویسندگان
چکیده
An integrated data repository (IDR) containing aggregations of clinical, biomedical, economic, administrative, and public health data is a key component of an overall translational research infrastructure. But most available data repositories are designed using standard data warehouse architecture that employs arbitrary data encoding standards, making queries across disparate repositories difficult. In response to these shortcomings we have designed a Health Ontology Mapper (HOM) that translates terminologies into formal data encoding standards without altering the underlying source data. We believe the HOM system promotes inter-institutional data sharing and research collaboration, and will ultimately lower the barrier to developing and using an IDR.

متن کاملMatching disease and phenotype ontologies in the ontology alignment evaluation initiative
BACKGROUND The disease and phenotype track was designed to evaluate the relative performance of ontology matching systems that generate mappings between source ontologies. Disease and phenotype ontologies are important for applications such as data mining, data integration and knowledge management to support translational science in drug discovery and understanding the genetics of disease. RE...
متن کاملAutomated Ontological Gene Annotation for Computing Disease Similarity
The annotation of gene/gene products with information on associated diseases is useful as an aid to clinical diagnosis and drug discovery. Several supervised and unsupervised methods exist that automate the association of genes with diseases, but relatively little work has been done to map protein sequence data to disease terminologies. This paper augments an existing open-disease terminology, ...
متن کاملMicroRNAs: Critical Regulators of mRNA Traffic and Translational Control with Promising Biotech and Therapeutic Applications
Context:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short, endogenously-initiated, non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally control gene expression via translational repression or mRNA turnover. MiRNAs have attracted much attention in recent years as they play critical roles in gene expression and are promising tools with many biotech and therapeutic applications. The molecular mechanisms und...
