System and method for mapping biomedical entities

A method of mapping biomedical entities, wherein each of the biomedical entities belong to one of a predefined class:

• target, disease, pathway, and drug, wherein the method includes using a computer system, wherein the method comprises:
• providing a user-input of a biomedical entity belonging to one of the predefined classes, wherein the predefined class of the biomedical entity defines an input class;
• extracting a plurality of biomedical entities related to the biomedical entity of the user-input from existing data sources, wherein the plurality of biomedical entities belongs to predefined classes except the input class;
• identifying at least one pair of biomedical entities, from the plurality of extracted biomedical entities, having an association therebetween, wherein each biomedical entity of the at least one pair of biomedical entities belongs to different predefined classes;
• and
• mapping the plurality of biomedical entities to the biomedical entity of the user-input.

A computer readable medium, containing program instructions for execution on a computer system, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform method steps for mapping biomedical entities, wherein each of the biomedical entities belongs to one of a predefined class:

• target, disease, pathway, and drug, the method comprising the steps of:
• providing a user-input of a biomedical entity belonging to one of the predefined classes, wherein the predefined class of the biomedical entity defines an input class;
• extracting a plurality of biomedical entities related to the biomedical entity of the user-input from existing data sources, wherein the plurality of biomedical entities belongs to predefined classes except the input class;
• identifying at least one pair of biomedical entities, from the plurality of extracted biomedical entities, having an association therebetween, wherein each biomedical entity of the at least one pair of biomedical entities belongs to different predefined classes;
• and
• mapping the plurality of biomedical entities to the biomedical entity of the user-input.
