Pathway

lamindb provides access to the following public Pathway ontologies through bionty:

  1. Gene Ontology

  2. Pathway Ontology

Here we show how to access and search Pathway ontologies to standardize new data.

PublicOntology objects

Let us create a public ontology accessor with .public method, which chooses a default public ontology source from PublicSource. It’s a PublicOntology object, which you can think about as a public registry:

pathways = bt.Pathway.public(organism="all")
pathways
PublicOntology
Entity: Pathway
Organism: all
Source: go, 2023-05-10
#terms: 47514

As for registries, you can export the ontology as a DataFrame:

df = pathways.df()
df.head()
name definition synonyms parents
ontology_id

GO:0000006 high-affinity zinc transmembrane transporter a... Enables The Transfer Of Zinc Ions (Zn2+) From ... high affinity zinc uptake transmembrane transp... [GO:0005385]

Unlike registries, you can also export it as a Pronto object via public.ontology.

Look up terms

As for registries, terms can be looked up with auto-complete:

lookup = pathways.lookup()

The . accessor provides normalized terms (lower case, only contains alphanumeric characters and underscores):

lookup.acetyl_coa_assimilation_pathway
Pathway(ontology_id='GO:0019681', name='acetyl-CoA assimilation pathway', definition='The Pathways By Which Acetyl-Coa Is Processed And Converted Into Alpha-Ketoglutarate (2-Oxoglutarate); Methanogenic Archaea Use These Pathways To Assimilate Acetyl-Coa Into The Cell.', synonyms='acetyl-CoA catabolic process to alpha-ketoglutarate|acetyl-CoA catabolism to 2-ketoglutarate|acetyl-CoA catabolism to 2-oxoglutarate|acetyl-CoA catabolic process to 2-oxoglutarate|acetyl-CoA catabolism to alpha-ketoglutarate|acetyl-CoA catabolic process to 2-ketoglutarate|acetyl-CoA catabolic process to alpha-oxoglutarate|acetyl-CoA catabolism to alpha-oxoglutarate', parents=array(['GO:0046356', 'GO:0006103'], dtype=object))

To look up the exact original strings, convert the lookup object to dict and use the [] accessor:

lookup_dict = lookup.dict()
lookup_dict["acetyl-CoA assimilation pathway"]
Pathway(ontology_id='GO:0019681', name='acetyl-CoA assimilation pathway', definition='The Pathways By Which Acetyl-Coa Is Processed And Converted Into Alpha-Ketoglutarate (2-Oxoglutarate); Methanogenic Archaea Use These Pathways To Assimilate Acetyl-Coa Into The Cell.', synonyms='acetyl-CoA catabolic process to alpha-ketoglutarate|acetyl-CoA catabolism to 2-ketoglutarate|acetyl-CoA catabolism to 2-oxoglutarate|acetyl-CoA catabolic process to 2-oxoglutarate|acetyl-CoA catabolism to alpha-ketoglutarate|acetyl-CoA catabolic process to 2-ketoglutarate|acetyl-CoA catabolic process to alpha-oxoglutarate|acetyl-CoA catabolism to alpha-oxoglutarate', parents=array(['GO:0046356', 'GO:0006103'], dtype=object))

By default, the name field is used to generate lookup keys. You can specify another field to look up:

lookup = pathways.lookup(pathways.ontology_id)
lookup.go_0019681
Pathway(ontology_id='GO:0019681', name='acetyl-CoA assimilation pathway', definition='The Pathways By Which Acetyl-Coa Is Processed And Converted Into Alpha-Ketoglutarate (2-Oxoglutarate); Methanogenic Archaea Use These Pathways To Assimilate Acetyl-Coa Into The Cell.', synonyms='acetyl-CoA catabolic process to alpha-ketoglutarate|acetyl-CoA catabolism to 2-ketoglutarate|acetyl-CoA catabolism to 2-oxoglutarate|acetyl-CoA catabolic process to 2-oxoglutarate|acetyl-CoA catabolism to alpha-ketoglutarate|acetyl-CoA catabolic process to 2-ketoglutarate|acetyl-CoA catabolic process to alpha-oxoglutarate|acetyl-CoA catabolism to alpha-oxoglutarate', parents=array(['GO:0046356', 'GO:0006103'], dtype=object))

Search terms

Search behaves in the same way as it does for registries:

pathways.search("acetyl coa assimilation").head(3)

By default, search also covers synonyms:

Standardize Pathway identifiers

Let us generate a DataFrame that stores a number of Pathway identifiers, some of which corrupted:

df_orig = pd.DataFrame(
    index=[
        "GO:1905210",
        "GO:1905211",
        "GO:1905212",
        "GO:1905208",
        "This pathway does not exist",
    ]
)
df_orig
GO:1905210
GO:1905211
GO:1905212
GO:1905208
This pathway does not exist

We can check whether any of our values are validated against the ontology reference:

validated = pathways.validate(df_orig.index, pathways.name)
df_orig.index[~validated]
5 terms (100.00%) are not validated: GO:1905210, GO:1905211, GO:1905212, GO:1905208, This pathway does not exist
Index(['GO:1905210', 'GO:1905211', 'GO:1905212', 'GO:1905208',
       'This pathway does not exist'],
      dtype='object')

Ontology source versions

For any given entity, we can choose from a number of versions:

bt.PublicSource.filter(entity="Pathway").df()

When instantiating a Bionty object, we can choose a source or version:

public_source = bt.PublicSource.filter(
    source="go", version="2023-05-10", organism="all"
).one()
pathways= bt.Pathway.public(public_source=public_source)
pathways
