Synthetic Biology02:55

Synthetic Biology

Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Synaptic Signaling01:09

Synaptic Signaling

Neurons communicate at synapses, or junctions, to excite or inhibit the activity of other neurons or target cells, such as muscles. Synapses may be chemical or electrical.
Most synapses are chemical, meaning an electrical impulse or action potential spurs the release of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. The neuron sending the signal is called the presynaptic neuron, and the neuron receiving the signal is the postsynaptic neuron.
The presynaptic neuron fires an action potential that...

The Synapse02:47

The Synapse

Neurons communicate with one another by passing on their electrical signals to other neurons. A synapse is the location where two neurons meet to exchange signals. At the synapse, the neuron that sends the signal is called the presynaptic cell, while the neuron that receives the message is called the postsynaptic cell. Note that most neurons can be both presynaptic and postsynaptic, as they both transmit and receive information.
Drug Discovery: Overview01:26

Drug Discovery: Overview

Drug discovery is a multifaceted process involving extensive screening, testing, and optimization of lead compounds to identify potential new drugs for therapeutic use. It combines several approaches, including screening large numbers of natural products, chemical modification of known active molecules, identification of new drug targets, and rational design based on biological mechanisms and drug-receptor structure. These approaches are carried out in both academic research laboratories and...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical informatics
  • Computational biology
  • Data science

Background:

  • Investigational studies with large datasets face challenges in hypothesis discovery for in silico science.
  • Conceptual Knowledge Discovery in Databases (CKDD) methods offer a way to scale hypothesis discovery and testing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a methodological and technical approach for using CKDD to support hypothesis discovery in in silico science.
  • Introduce the Translational Ontology-anchored Knowledge Discovery Engine (TOKEn) model.

Main Methods:

  • Employed a multipart model formulation and validation process.
  • Utilized Constructive Induction, a CKDD approach, within the TOKEn model.
  • Focused on identifying and prioritizing hypotheses from semantic relationships in heterogeneous biomedical data.

Main Results:

  • Validated the TOKEn model using a translational research data repository from the Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Research Consortium.
  • Demonstrated that TOKEn is computationally tractable.
  • Confirmed TOKEn's ability to generate valid hypotheses on phenotypic and biomolecular variable relationships.

Conclusions:

  • The TOKEn model provides a systematic approach for knowledge synthesis in in silico discovery science.
  • TOKEn is valuable for handling large-scale and multidimensional research datasets.
