New publication - Graph databases in systems biology: a systematic review

A new review on the use of graph databases in systems biology has been published in Briefings in Bioinformatics: doi.org/10.1093/bib/bbae561
In this review, we analyse publications using or mentioning graph databases retrieved from PubMed and PubMed Central full-text search, focusing on the top 16 available graph databases. Publications are categorized according to their domain and application, focusing on pathway and network biology and relevant ontologies and tools. We detail different approaches and highlight the advantages of outstanding resources, discussing ongoing efforts of the systems biology community to standardize and harmonize knowledge graph creation and the maintenance of integrated resources.
