I wish to parse pathways from NCI/Nature Pathway Interaction Database into graphNELs. They are available as BioPAX, with an '.owl' file extension. Has anybody already done this? I have a start on the task using the XML package, but don't wish to replicate work already done. Thanks! - Paul

I think that Rredland might help, since BioPAX is RDF. I think the package even has some BioPAX examples.

Hi Michael, Thanks for the suggestion. Last I looked, Rredland was a bit of a chore to install on a Mac; it was enough to deter me. It appears to need librdf and BerkeleyDB. Has anyone had any luck with installing it on OSX 10.5 or later? Actually, parsing the owl/BioPAX xml is not -so- hard using the XML package. But there are quite a few ways the data could be mapped to a graphNEL. I wonder if anyone has given this any thought.... - Paul On May 19, 2010, at 6:37 PM, Michael Lawrence wrote: > I think that Rredland might help, since BioPAX is RDF.

Hi, Paul I just added caBIO pathway (including NCI-Nature, Biocarta and Reactome) support in GeneAnswers dev version several days ago. The new version GeneAnswers have two functions, getcaBIOPATHList and getcaBIOPATHTerms that can parse caBIO pathways. You might have to manually install the GeneAnswers 1.5.4 if your Bioc is not 2.7.

Hi Paul, I'm preparing master's thesis related to this subject and my instructor, Leo Lahti, pointed me to this discussion. In my study I'm trying to analyze BioPAX 2 data (from Reactome) to build network of all proteins that are linked to pathways and also to identify interactions between proteins based on interactions between pathways and other classes in Biopax data. I used Rredland to parse the Biopax owl file on Mac OS X 10.4 and I've had no problems with Rredland. Berkeley DB and other dependencies have been available through fink project. When starting the work I had no experience with R but some experience with other programming languages. I found the data.frame returned by rredland mostly incomprehensible and didn't know much about R packages and the R community so I proceeded in writing S4 object model of BioPAX level 2 and converted the rdf data to graph of objects of my personal BioPAX level 2 implementation. In hindsight, creating this own graph representation seems extra work and I think it might have been better to build maybe igraph or graphNEL model of the rdf data directly. Anyway, we have here BioPAX level 2 S4 object model under work and means for constructing it from owl file. I have used this object model to select only some edges of the BioPAX data to construct simpler graphs relevant in my study. If you are interested in the project you can also continue discussion by email with me (ossi.koivistoinen at iki.fi) or with Leo (leo.lahti at iki.fi). In particular, we would like to know if there are others who could potentially join and contribute to the project but all comments and feedback are welcome. Best Regards, Ossi
