Knowledge Network Miner (KnetMiner)[1][2] is a system of tools used to integrate, search and visualize biological Knowledge Graphs (KGs). It assists scientists in searching across large biological databases and literature to find links between genes, traits, diseases, and other information types.

Current KnetMiners (non-exhaustive list)

KnetMiner KGs are built using the company’s data integration platform KnetBuilder and provided in OXL, Neo4j and RDF graph formats. It makes use of FAIR data[3] principles and supports the use of a range of biological data formats. The KnetMiner API provides web endpoints to search the KG with genes and keywords, returning the knowledge in graph format. KnetMiner was initially created via collaboration of researchers at Rothamsted Research and has since expanded and initiated a spin-out process. KnetMiner filed for the KnetMiner trademark on November 25, 2021 and was entered into the register on May 6, 2022.[4]

KnetMiner hosts a range of different species, including a knowledge graph dedicated to SARS-CoV-2[5][6] in response to the 2020 global pandemic, on Rothamsted Research HPC machines. It includes the following:

KnetMiner has been involved in a number of studies, including studies for wheat,[7][8][9] willow,[9] and SARS-CoV-2.[5] It is also being used for exploring pathogen-host interactions in collaboration with PHI-base, soybean loopers, and other species.

API access

KnetMiner uses REST API access to obtain either JSON outputs of each view type, or to obtain network views for certain searches.

Funding

KnetMiner is funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, a UK research council.[1]
