TogoID

TogoID converts biological identifiers across 65 datasets to enable integration and exploration of life sciences data.

Key Features:

• Extensive Dataset Coverage: Supports conversion mappings across 65 datasets spanning diverse biological categories.
• Exploratory Multistep Conversions: Enables multistep ID conversions that allow navigation through series of identifiers to discover indirect mappings and relationships.
• API Access: Provides an application programming interface (API) for programmatic ID conversion and integration.
• Ontology-Driven Interpretation: Incorporates a crafted ontology that defines the semantics of dataset relations to guide interpretation of conversion results.
• Community Configuration Storage: Stores configurations for dataset pairs on GitHub (https://github.com/togoid/togoid-config) to support expansion and configuration management.

Scientific Applications:

• Comparative Genomics: Facilitates comparative genomics by linking identifiers across genomic resources.
• Systems Biology: Supports systems biology by enabling integration of heterogeneous identifiers for network and pathway analyses.
• Multi-omics Integration: Enables multi-omics analyses by converting identifiers to link datasets across omics layers.

Methodology:

Performs exploratory multistep ID conversions using a crafted ontology to define dataset-relation semantics, with dataset-pair configurations maintained in a GitHub repository.
