bio_db
An SWI-Prolog pack/library [4] that provides a plethora of biological data in the form of Prolog predicates. The data can reside either in Prolog fact files (which are auto-compiled to fast loading .qlf files), or to back-end databases. The method of storage is trasparent to the user.
Installation :
?- pack_install(bio_db)
.
The library itself does not come with any data, these can be either downloaded en-masse via,
?- pack_install(bio_db_repo)
.
Or will be installed on demand at the first invocation of each data predicate. For instance if there have been no data installed the example below will ask permission to contact the server and install the specific dataset.
Minimal example:
?- map_homs_symb_hgnc( 'LMTK3', Hgnc )
.
The served tables include data from
Organisms
The data are organised by organism, currently these are human (homs), mouse (musm), chicken (galg) and pig (suss).
