  2. NCI Center for BioinformaticsBuilding common architecture, common tools, and common standards accessportals participatinggroup nodes ClinicalTrials MolecularSignatures CMAP caCore • Establish common data elements • Provide data exchange infrastructure • Develop electronic data interfaces • Distribute architecture model • Provide application tool chest • Develop portals CancerGenomics MouseModels GAI CGAP

  3. caCOREhttp://ncicb.nci.nih.gov

  4. caBIO • Thecancer Bioinformatics Infrastructure Objects (caBIO) is a standards based set of bioinformatics components • caBIO objects simulate the behavior of actual genomic components such as genes, chromosomes, sequences, libraries, clones, ontologies, etc. • caBIO provides access to a variety of genomic data sources including, Unigene, Homologene, LocusLink, RefSeq, BioCarta, GoldenPath (via DAS), and NCICB’s CGAP (Cancer Genome Anatomy Project) and GAI (Genetic Annotation Initiative) data repositories • caBIO is “open source” and provides an abstraction layer that allows developers to access genomic information using a standardized tool set without concerns for implementation details and data management

  5. caBIO Object Model

  6. Model Extensions Clinical Protocols • A clinical protocols object model facilitates the integration of clinical data with genomic data Animal Models • An animal models object model supports queries between human and animal models of cancer

  7. Powered by caBIO! CMAPCancer Molecular Analysis Projecthttp://cmap.nci.nih.gov

  8. Powered by caBIO! Molecular Targets • A collection of genes organized by pathways can be displayed facilitating the evaluation of anomalies

  9. Powered by caBIO! Gene Navigator • The Gene Navigator presents gene-to-gene and enzyme-to-enzyme relationships as nodes in a connected graph • Spring, Rosette, and Clan-based algorithms are represented • Links between related nodes identify the relationships and the source pathways in which they occur • Researchers can drill down to detailed information about genes and pathways

  10. Powered by caBIO! Targeted Agents • Researchers can retrieve information about agents linked to multiple targets and contexts

  11. Powered by caBIO! Clinical Trials • Researchers can view detailed information about therapeutic trials associated with histology types and agents • A clinical protocols portal is available to allow researchers to search and submit clinical protocols affiliated with Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPOREs)

  12. caBIO Architecture • caBIO was designed using a J2EE architecture with client interfaces, server components, back-end objects and data sources • Clients (browsers, applications) can receive information (HTML and XML) from back-end objects over HTTP • Client applications can also communicate with back-end objects via Java RMI (Java applications) • Non-Java based applications can communicate via SOAP or HTTP • Server components communicate with back-end objects via Java RMI • Back-end objects communicate directly with data sources (database, URLs, flat files) • caBIO web services can be advertised to facilitate information sharing • RDF can be used to advertise content to crawlers and agents • A UDDI registry may be configured to advertise services • caBIO services can be advertised via bioMOBY central

  13. Clients Presentation Layer Object Layer Data Sources Web Server Servlet Container JSPs External Databases HTML/HTTP Data Access Objects Servlets Object Managers Browsers SOAP Engine JDBC EVS XML/HTTP Other Apps RMI caDSR UI Bean Domain Objects SOAP HTTP XML Builder Chromosomes Genes URLs XSLT Engine Tissues Clusters Agents RDF FTP Libraries Sequences DTDs Flat Files XML Docs Diseases XSL Style Sheet Other Java Apps caBIO Architecture

  15. caBIO Usage Facilitates solving Complex Queries such as: Find me the Pathways, with Genes that are expressed in tissues with a particular Histopathology that includes a particular Organ and a particular Disease.

  16. caBIO APIs • A Java API is available for Java programmers • A Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) API is provided for non-Java programmers • An HTTP API is available • Developers can request XML or HTML (with XSL)

  17. Java Packages • gov.nih.nci.caBIO.bean • Contains domain objects to access genomic and biomedical components • gov.nih.nci.caBIO.util.das • Primary interface to the UCSC DAS • Uses JAXB to convert DAS DTDs to objects • gov.nih.nci.caBIO.evs • Provides synonym search and concept based search to the NCI’s Enterprise Vocabulary System (EVS) • gov.nih.nci.caBIO.webservices • Provides access to caBIO via SOAP • gov.nih.nci.caBIO.servlet • Provides access to caBIO via HTTP • gov.nih.nci.caBIO.util • Provides interface to caBIO utilities

  18. Java API Domain objects have companion SearchCriteria objects Gene myGene = new Gene(); GeneSearchCriteria criteria = new GeneSearchCriteria(); criteria.setSymbol("pTEN"); SearchResult result = myGene.search(criteria); Gene[] genes = (Gene[]) result.getResultSet(); • caBIO supports nested SearchCriteria • SearchCriteria from one object type can be fed as parameters into SearchCriteria of another type. • Complex queries without any SQL

  19. Traverse Relationships in Model Find me the Pathways, with Genes that are expressed in tissues with a particular Histopathology that includes a particular Organ and a particular Disease. INPUT Disease Histopathology Genes Organ Pathways OUTPUT

  20. findPathway Input disease, organ; create SearchCriteria Objects: public Pathway[] findPathway(String disease, String organ) { DiseaseSearchCriteria diseaseCriteria = new DiseaseSearchCriteria(); OrganSearchCriteria organCriteria = new OrganSearchCriteria(); HistopathologySearchCriteria histoCriteria = new HistopathologySearchCriteria(); GeneSearchCriteria geneCriteria = new GeneSearchCriteria(); PathwaySearchCriteria pathCriteria = new PathwaySearchCriteria();

  21. findPathway Nest the SearchCriteria, then do the search: diseaseCriteria.setName(disease); organCriteria.setName(organ); histoCriteria.putSearchCriteria(diseaseCriteria,CriteriaElement.AND); histoCriteria.putSearchCriteria(organCriteria, CriteriaElement.AND); geneCriteria.putSearchCriteria(histoCriteria, CriteriaElement.AND); pathCriteria.putSearchCriteria(geneCriteria, CriteriaElement.AND); Pathway myPathway = new Pathway(); return myPathway.searchPathways(pathCriteria); }

  22. findPathways: Query Results

  23. Web Services: SOAP http://cabio.nci.nih.gov/soap/services/index.html

  24. SOAP API Perl Example use SOAP::Lite; $s = SOAP::Lite ->uri(urn:nci-gene-service) ->proxy("http://cabio.nci.nih.gov/soap/servlet/rpcrouter"); my %searchCriteria=(); $searchCriteria{symbol}=“pTEN”; $som=$s->getGenes(SOAP::Data->type(map =>\%searchCriteria)); $xmldoc = $som->result;

  25. SOAP output with xlinks <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <nci-core> - <gov.nih.nci.caBIO.bean.Gene id="2221" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink/"> <name>PTEN</name> <title>phosphatase and tensin homolog (mutated in multiple advanced cancers 1)</title> <dbCrossRefs>{LOCUS_LINK=5728, OMIM=601728, UNIGENE=10712}</dbCrossRefs> <Pathwayxlink:href= "http://lpgprot101.nci.nih.gov:5080/CORE/GetXML?operation=Pathway&GeneId=2221" /> [Additional xlinks for ExpressionExperiment, Organ, Chromosome, GeneHomolog, Sequence, Gene Alias, Protein, SNP, and MapLocation] </gov.nih.nci.caBIO.bean.Gene> [2 Additional Genes with “PTEN” in their name] - <searchResult> <hasMore>false</hasMore> <startsAt>1</startsAt><endsAt>3</endsAt> </searchResult> </nci-core>

  26. SOAP with returnHeavyXML Data is now returned in full. Here is a Pathway object snippet: <gov.nih.nci.caBIO.bean.Pathway id="92"> <name>ptenPathway</name> <displayValue>PTEN Dependent Cell Cycle Arrest and Apoptosis</displayValue> <pathwayDiagram>ptenPathway.svg</pathwayDiagram> </gov.nih.nci.caBIO.bean.Pathway>

  27. HTTP API Direct access to XML-formatted data via URLs: http://cabio.nci.nih.gov/servlet/GetXML? operation=Gene&Symbol=pTEN Method Parameter Value Search Parameter
