Ontology Advantages
•   Unstructured to Structured (using OBA service)
•   Structured (Faceted) browsing of data
•   Encourages discussion of data & its meaning
•   Integration with other data (via same ontologies
    or mappings to others)
Ontology Hurdles
•   Managing ontology/vocabulary terms and structure
•   Time to encode data using ontology vs free text
•   Consistent use/annotation using ontologies
•   Quite a few ‘standards’ to pick from....

Using Ontologies to accelerate candidate gene identification

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. The Rat Genome Database is one of the main projects we have at MCW. It is the model organism database for the laboratory rat, Rattus norvegicus. We curate, genes, strains, QTL, etc. and make extensive use of ontologies such as GO, pathway, rat strain, disease, phenotype.
  2. This is a typical use case for rat genomics - how to identify the causes of hypertension in a hypertensive rat? Quite often a QTL is measured indicating a region on the chromosome that is statistically shown to be related to the trait in question - how to go from the genes in that region to the cause of the disease? Not an easy task - ‘then a miracle happens’

  6. Rat biologists ask many questions related to gene expression and diseases, these are some examples of typical questions. Many of these questions are in areas covered by ontologies and would benefit from the additional searching flexibility that ontologies provide

  12. Technical problem - lots of data being stored, hard to find it again. Government Warehouse image. Data is archived with good intentions but in doing so is often not easy to find again... If you cant find the data, its not really much use.
  13. NCBI’s Gene Expression Omnibus has a lot of relevant data, either as text or raw data.
  14. Can we start to capture some of this informaiton in an informatically-tractable fashion using ontologies and the OBA tools at the National Center for Biomedical Ontology in an annotation pipeline? The red boxes highlight some concepts of interest - rat strains and tissues being used in this experiment. A human can read these and know whats going on but what about a computer?
  15. Driving biological project - use NCBO Annotator web services to mark up the text in the GEO records using ontologies
  16. Take sections of text from GEO records, create annotation jobs, place in queue Workers take the jobs off the queue, index for appropriate ontologies at NCBO Results are placed on Input queue for saving back to the database.
  17. We are currently using two ontologies, the rat strain ontology created at RGD and the Mouse Gross Anatomy Ontology created at the JAX. These are both available at the NCBO BioPortal
  18. GEO data is run through the pipeline and loaded into Gminer for curation and analysis
  19. Searching for BRAIN returns results that also match any of these child terms of the concept Brain.
  20. New annotations can be added using the NCBO ontology widgets
  21. New annotations can be added using the NCBO ontology widgets
  22. New annotations can be added using the NCBO ontology widgets
  23. Enter the ontology heirarchy at a top level and then drill down
  24. Annotations and tag clouds can be used to explore the datasets - what do we know about SHRSP (Spontaneously hypertensive rat, stroke prone) - brain studies, also used in conjunction with the SR and SR/JHsd rats
  25. Initial results focusing on GEO rat datasets has provided a lot of great information and allowed us to create some handy navigational interfaces to the data, enabling queries that were not possible on any other site. Want to find expression data for the SS rat Kidney - click the terms and the datasets appear.
  26. Can we link from the annotations to the samples, down to the raw data in that sample and from there to the genes involved? Affy chips have the detection call, a fairly conservative present/absent call indicating if the probe set was observed in that particular sample.

  29. We can then related the probesets to the genes to the ontology annotations to create triple such as this. If we do this for the affy data in GEO for Rat, Mouse and Human we will have somewhere upwards of 1.5B data points to encode.

  31. For each probe we can look at the samples in which it was tested and see if it was present/absent/marginal and compile this data to get a feel for how often a gene was seen in a particular tissue/organ.
  32. This can be viewed as a chart of tissue distribution. When compared to similar results from GeneCards/Novartis BioGPS the results are quite comparable indicating that this approach has some merit.
  33. As we start to create these triples we can bridge the gap from the QTL and its genes to the disease, allowing the scientists to identify or prioritize candidate genes in their QTL regions (or gene lists) and save them (to some degree) from spending a lot of time manually searching databases online.
