SPOKE Nodes & Edges
See current list of Nodes & Edges
SPOKE (Scalable Precision Medicine Open Knowledge Engine) is a very large network containing multiple types of biological data. Pooling such diverse data into a single knowledge environment allows identifying new connections, with implications for biomedical applications like personalized medicine: suggesting which drugs may be effective for a specific patient. An earlier version of the network was used to suggest new uses for existing drugs (Himmelstein, 2017).
SPOKE is a heterogeneous network, meaning that different nodes (points) within the network can represent different types of data. The edges between pairs of nodes represent known connections. Paths that follow a series of edges may connect nodes not previously known to be related.
