If you have more advanced queries to run, you can interact with ODG’s generated database from nearly any programming language, using a library or package, via the REST API, or through Neo4j’s Web Console. This tutorial will cover… Read More »

The Gene Ontology project is a useful tool for anyone doing genomics. It’s a highly relational and controlled vocabulary, making it ideal for use in a graph database. In this example I will show you what a graph database is, and throughout this series we will create a graph database of GO terms, properly linked,… Read More »
