The Monarch Initiative

As with most biomedical databases, the first step is to identify relevant data from the research community. The Monarch Initiative is focused primarily on phenotype-related resources. We bring in data associated with those phenotypes so that our users can begin to make connections among other biological entities of interest. We import data from a variety of data sources. With many resources integrated into a single database, we can join across the various data sources to produce integrated views. We have started with the big players including ClinVar and OMIM, but are equally interested in boutique databases. You can learn more about the sources of data that populate our system from our data sources page https://monarchinitiative.org/kg/sources.

与大多数生物医学数据库相似，首要步骤在于从研究界中识别出相关数据。Monarch 创举主要聚焦于表型相关资源。我们收集与这些表型相关的数据，以便用户能够开始探索其他感兴趣生物实体之间的联系。我们汇集来自多种数据源的数据。通过将众多资源整合入单一数据库，我们得以跨越不同数据源进行联合，从而生成综合视图。我们已从诸如 ClinVar 和 OMIM 这样的行业巨头开始，但对精品数据库亦怀有浓厚兴趣。您可通过我们的数据源页面了解更多关于填充我们系统的数据来源信息：https://monarchinitiative.org/about/sources。
