GeneticsKP Reference Ingest Guide

Source Information

InfoRes ID: infores:geneticskp

Description: GeneticsKP is a Translator Knowledge Provider that surfaces gene-disease and gene-phenotype associations derived from genome-wide association study (GWAS) data. Associations are computed using MAGMA (Multi-marker Analysis of GenoMic Annotation), a gene-level statistical method that aggregates variant-level GWAS summary statistics into gene-based association scores. GeneticsKP packages these MAGMA-derived associations as a KGX knowledge graph, providing statistically grounded genetic evidence linking genes to diseases and phenotypic traits that can be combined with other knowledge sources in Translator. This ingest is a passthrough of the pre-computed GeneticsKP KGX graph, validating and re-serializing its nodes and edges to Biolink Model form.

Data Access Locations: - Data is provided as a pre-computed KGX tar.gz file (genetics_magma.tar.gz) sourced from GeneticsKP

Data Provision Mechanisms: file_download

Data Formats: kgx

Data Versioning and Releases: Static, pre-computed release based on a single MAGMA analysis; not versioned on a fixed schedule.

Ingest Information

Ingest Categories: translator_knowledge_creator

Utility: GeneticsKP provides gene-disease associations based on GWAS data analyzed with MAGMA, offering genetic evidence for disease associations that can be integrated with other knowledge sources in Translator.

Scope: Gene-disease associations derived from GWAS data using MAGMA statistical analysis.

Target Information

Edge Types

Subject Categories Predicate Object Categories Knowledge Level Agent Type UI Explanation
biolink:Gene biolink:Disease, biolink:PhenotypicFeature statistical_association computational_model This edge asserts that genetic variation in the subject gene is statistically associated with the object disease or phenotypic feature. The association is derived from MAGMA (Multi-marker Analysis of GenoMic Annotation), which aggregates variant-level GWAS summary statistics into a gene-level association score. Because the knowledge is produced by a statistical model rather than manual curation, these edges carry a knowledge level of 'statistical_association' and an agent type of 'computational_model'. This ingest passes the pre-computed GeneticsKP KGX edges through with minimal transformation, attributing infores:geneticskp as the primary knowledge source.
