Chemoinformatics has developed efficient ways of representing chemical structures for small molecules as simple text strings, simplified molecular-input line-entry system (SMILES) and the IUPAC International Chemical Identifier (InChI), which are machine-readable. In particular, InChIs have been extended to encode formalized representations mixtures reactions, work is ongoing represent polymers other macromolecules in this way. The next frontier encoding multi-component nanomaterials (NMs) a...

Real-world evidence (RWE) plays an increasingly important role within global regulatory and reimbursement processes. RWE generation can be enhanced by collecting using patient-reported outcomes (PROs), which provide valuable information on the effectiveness, safety, tolerability of health interventions from patient perspective. This analysis aims to examine summarise utilisation measures (PROMs) in real-world studies.

In mediaeval Europe, the term “commons” described way that communities managed land was held “in common” and provided a clear set of rules for how this “common land” used developed by, for, community. Similarly, as we move towards an increasingly knowledge-based society where data is new oil, approaches to sharing jointly owning publicly funded research are needed maximise its added value. Such common management will extend data’s useful life facilitate reuse range additional purposes, from...

Ontology-based phenotype profiles have been utilised for the purpose of differential diagnosis rare genetic diseases, and decision support in specific disease domains. Particularly, semantic similarity facilitates diagnostic hypothesis generation through comparison with profiles.

Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs) provide a basis for non-animal testing, by outlining the cascade of molecular and cellular events initiated upon stressor exposure, leading to adverse effects. In recent years, scientific community has shown interest in developing AOPs through crowdsourcing, with results archived AOP-Wiki: centralized repository coordinated OECD, hosting nearly 512 (April, 2023). However, AOP-Wiki platform currently lacks versatile querying system, which hinders developers'...

Abstract Background Ontologies are widely used throughout the biomedical domain. These ontologies formally represent classes and relations assumed to exist within a As scientific domains deeply interlinked, so too their representations. While individual can be tested for consistency coherency using automated reasoning methods, systematically combining of multiple together may reveal previously hidden contradictions. Methods We developed method that tests unsatisfiabilities in an ontology...

Reasoning over biomedical ontologies using their OWL semantics has traditionally been a challenging task due to the high theoretical complexity of OWL-based automated reasoning. As consequence, ontology repositories, as well most other tools utilizing ontologies, either provide access without use reasoning, or limit number for which reasoning-based is provided. We apply AberOWL infrastructure all accessible and consistent in BioPortal (368 ontologies). perform an extensive performance...

Abstract Background Biomedical ontologies contain a wealth of metadata that constitutes fundamental infrastructural resource for text mining. For several reasons, redundancies exist in the ontology ecosystem, which lead to same entities being described by concepts or similar contexts across ontologies. While these describe entities, they different sets complementary metadata. Linking definitions make use their combined could improved performance ontology-based information retrieval,...

Link prediction in complex networks has recently attracted a great deal of attraction diverse scientific domains, including social and biological sciences. Given snapshot network, the goal is to predict links that are missing network or likely occur near future. This problem both theoretical practical significance; it not only helps us identify more efficiently by avoiding expensive time consuming experimental processes, but also allows study evolution with time. To address link prediction,...
