What it knows

Rare diseases are scattered across thousands of papers, which makes them difficult to summarize. RaDOr reads that literature in advance and distills it into a knowledge graph of diseases, genes, phenotypes, metabolites, and the relationships between them.

How it answers

1
Identify the subject
Works out which disease, gene, or metabolite is being asked about.
2
Follow the connections
Examines the linked genes, phenotypes, treatments, and pathways, ranked by how many studies support each.
3
Retrieve the sources
Pulls the specific papers reporting each fact.
4
Answer
Writes only what the graph returned, with every statement linked to its publications.

Who built it

RaDOr is developed at the Wishart Lab in the Departments of Biological Sciences and Computing Science at the University of Alberta, led by Dr. David Wishart.
