Geo Disease Atlas · Knowledge graph

A source-backed map of disease biology, treatments, and evidence.

Disease Atlas is for people doing early biomedical triage: researchers, pharma strategists, ontology builders, and app builders who need to move from a disease to genes, drugs, mechanisms, evidence, and source links without losing provenance.

Not a pretty graph. A disease evidence workbench.

The dashboard is not meant to diagnose patients or replace clinical guidelines. It is meant to help someone decide what to inspect next, what looks connected, and whether a claim has a source trail worth trusting.

Translational scientist

Start a disease workup.

Open one disease and quickly inspect associated genes, pathway context, treatments, expression changes, and exploratory symptom/anatomy signals.

Question answered: what should I investigate first?
Pharma / BD / strategy

Look for repurposing clues.

Compare disease packets to find shared genes, overlapping treatments, drug classes, and mechanisms that might justify a deeper review.

Question answered: where are the interesting bridges?
Data and ontology builder

Audit the claim graph.

Click a claim, inspect its plain-English meaning, source family, identifiers, external links, and whether it is curated evidence or exploratory signal.

Question answered: can another builder reuse this safely?

What is being organized?

Instead of storing disease information as isolated tables or long summaries, the atlas stores each statement as a relationship: a drug treats a disease, a disease is associated with a gene, a gene participates in a pathway, or a source supports a claim.

That means you can click from a disease to a gene, from that gene to pathways and GO annotations, then back to the dataset, ontology, paper, or external identifier that supports the relationship.

Example graph claim Asthma → associated with → IL4

The claim is inspectable, source-backed, and reusable. It is not just prose on a page.

Sources stay close to claims

Evidence rows link back to source databases, DOI/PubMed records, ontologies, and external pages where available.

Start disease-first.

The current atlas focuses on Asthma, Psoriasis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Breast cancer, Hypertension, Type 2 diabetes mellitus, Alzheimer’s disease, and Crohn’s disease.

Separate facts from signals.

Curated treatment and annotation claims are displayed separately from literature cooccurrence signals such as symptoms, anatomy, and disease similarity.

Click back to source.

Drugs have DrugBank identifiers, genes have Entrez-style identifiers, papers have DOI/PubMed links, and source pages link out wherever the underlying data provides a useful URL.

What data is in the dashboard?

This is a curated starter repertoire, not a bulk dump. The goal is to make the graph traceable and buildable before scaling to more diseases and more evidence layers.

718genes

Gene associations, expression signals, pathway context, and GO annotations.

164drugs

Treating and palliative drug links, many with DrugBank IDs and external links.

53drug classes

Mechanism/class groupings that help compare treatment families.

54pathways

Reactome-style pathway context for disease-associated genes.

188presentation signals

Exploratory symptom/presentation evidence, kept separate from canonical clinical facts.

200anatomy signals

Literature/source-derived anatomy cooccurrence signals for exploration.

23sources

Datasets, ontologies, source databases, and supporting papers.

3papers

All currently linked with DOI and PubMed identifiers.

Start with insights, then inspect evidence.

The dashboard opens separately so the landing page can explain the project while the app stays focused. Use Insights for a first-pass disease workup, Compare for shared biology, and Evidence for source audit.

Disease Atlas dashboard insights view
Open a disease brief with shared biology, treatment overlap, mechanism anchors, and evidence-quality cues.
Disease Atlas evidence quality view
Audit claims with plain-English descriptions and quality labels before trusting or reusing a relationship.

Sixteen disease packets are live in the read model.

The public site is the read model. Geo is the canonical space where the packet pages, entity pages, provenance, and future edits live.

Open the dashboard when you want to inspect the graph.

The next step is improving source specificity and confidence cues: making it even clearer which claims are curated facts, which are exploratory signals, and which source records support each relationship.
