Parsing, validation, compilation, and data exchange of Biological Expression Language (BEL)

Project description

PyBEL is a pure Python package for parsing and handling biological networks encoded in the Biological Expression Language (BEL). It also facilitates data interchange between common formats and databases such as NetworkX, JSON, CSV, SIF, Cytoscape, CX, NDEx, SQL, and Neo4J.

Its companion package, PyBEL Tools, contains a suite of functions and pipelines for analyzing the resulting biological networks.

Getting Started

In this example, the Selventa Small Corpus is loaded and visualized in a Jupyter Notebook.

>>> import pybel, pybel_tools
>>> graph = pybel.from_url('http://resources.openbel.org/belframework/20150611/knowledge/small_corpus.bel')
>>> graph.number_of_nodes()  # Will be smaller than expected because we have the most strict settings enabled
1207
>>> pybel_tools.visualization.to_jupyter(graph)

More examples can be found in the documentation and in the PyBEL Notebooks repository.

PyBEL also installs a command line interface with the command pybel for simple utilities such as data conversion. In this example, a BEL Script is exported to GraphML for viewing in Cytoscape.

$ pybel convert --path ~/Desktop/example.bel --graphml ~/Desktop/example.graphml

In Cytoscape, open with Import > Network > From File.
