SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Monarch provides cross-species linking of diseases, genes, and phenotypes via the Monarch Initiative knowledge graph, enabling integrated queries across OMIM, ORPHANET, HPO, and model organism databases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-species disease-gene-phenotype mapping using Monarch API v3
  • HPO and MONDO ontology lookups for gene-disease associations
  • Model organism literature cross-referencing for rare disease research
  • Workflow support for rare disease gene prioritization and phenotype annotation

Quick Start

Ask Monarch to fetch disease-gene-phenotype associations for your disease of interest.

FAQPage Schema
How do I map cross-species disease-gene-phenotype associations using Monarch?

To map cross-species disease-gene-phenotype associations, query the Monarch Initiative knowledge graph to retrieve integrated data across OMIM, ORPHANET, HPO, and model organism databases for rare disease gene discovery.

What is the best way to find HPO and MONDO terms for rare disease gene discovery?

Finding HPO and MONDO terms for rare disease gene discovery involves performing ontology lookups via the Monarch API v3 to match specific phenotypes and diseases to their corresponding gene associations.

Can I retrieve orthology data across model organism databases through cross-species disease modeling?

Yes, you can retrieve orthology data across model organism databases by querying the Monarch Initiative knowledge graph, which supports cross-species disease modeling and integrates literature cross-referencing for rare diseases.

Does the Monarch API support phenotype-to-gene mapping for OMIM and ORPHANET records?

Yes, the Monarch API supports phenotype-to-gene mapping by providing integrated cross-ontology querying that links phenotype annotations directly to gene associations found within OMIM and ORPHANET records.
