bionty.base

Access to public ontologies.

bionty.base is the read-only interface for public ontology that underlies bionty and doesn’t require a lamindb instance.

Import the package:

>>> import bionty.base as bt_base

Access public ontologies:

>>> genes = bt_base.Gene()

Get a DataFrame of all available values:

>>> genes.df()
