A unified biomedical graph database that integrates 50+ primary data sources

Best for Retrieving high-resolution protein structures for specific gene targets.

*A unified biomedical graph database that integrates 50+ primary data sources — genes, proteins, compounds, diseases, pathways, and clinical data — into a single queryable graph with billions of cross-reference edges. Its native MCP server gives LLMs direct access to structured,…

What it does

  • Integrates 50+ primary biomedical data sources including genes, proteins, and compounds
  • Provides billions of cross-reference edges for complex biomedical queries
  • Supports natural language querying for structured biomedical data
  • Enables cross-database mapping (e.g., Ensembl to UniProt to PDB)
