We introduce BioDataFuse, a query-based Python tool for seamless integration of biomedical databases. BioDataFuse establishes a modular framework for efficient data wrangling, enabling context-specific knowledge graph creation and supporting graph-based analyses. With a user-friendly interface, it enables users to dynamically create knowledge graphs from their input data. Supported by a robust Python package, pyBiodatafuse, this tool excels in data harmonization, aggregating diverse sources through modular queries. Moreover, BioDataFuse provides plugin capabilities for Cytoscape and Neo4j, allowing local graph hosting. Ongoing refinements enhance the graph utility through tasks like link prediction, making BioDataFuse a versatile solution for efficient and effective biological data integration.
To know more about the package, read our documentation here.

The most recent release can be installed from PyPI with:
$ pip install pyBiodatafuse
The most recent code and data can be installed directly from GitHub with:
$ pip install git+https://github.com/BioDataFuse/pyBiodatafuse.git
Contributions, whether filing an issue, making a pull request, or forking, are appreciated. See CONTRIBUTING.md for more information on getting involved.

The final section of the README is for if you want to get involved by making a code contribution.
To install in development mode, use the following:
$ git clone git+https://github.com/BioDataFuse/pyBiodatafuse.git
$ cd pyBiodatafuse
$ pip install -e .
After cloning the repository and installing tox
with pip install tox
, the unit tests in the tests/
folder can be
run reproducibly with:
$ tox
Additionally, these tests are automatically re-run with each commit in a GitHub Action.
The documentation can be built locally using the following:
$ git clone git+https://github.com/BioDataFuse/pyBiodatafuse.git
$ cd pyBiodatafuse
$ tox -e docs
$ open docs/build/html/index.html
The documentation automatically installs the package as well as the docs
extra specified in the setup.cfg
. sphinx
plugins
like texext
can be added there. Additionally, they need to be added to the
extensions
list in docs/source/conf.py
.
After installing the package in development mode and installing
tox
with pip install tox
, the commands for making a new release are contained within the finish
environment
in tox.ini
. Run the following from the shell:
$ tox -e finish
This script does the following:
- Uses Bump2Version to switch the version number in the
setup.cfg
,src/pyBiodatafuse/version.py
, anddocs/source/conf.py
to not have the-dev
suffix - Packages the code in both a tar archive and a wheel using
build
- Uploads to PyPI using
twine
. Be sure to have a.pypirc
file configured to avoid the need for manual input at this step - Push to GitHub. You'll need to make a release going with the commit where the version was bumped.
- Bump the version to the next patch. If you made big changes and want to bump the version by minor, you can
use
tox -e bumpversion -- minor
after.
