On http://sparql.wikipathways.org/ WikiPathways content is replicated in a SPARQL endpoint. Queries can be performed in three ways:

1. Either go to the endpoint directly and create your own SPARQL query.

2. Copy and paste an example query listed below in the endpoint.

3. Adapt a code examples to programmatically make a SPARQL query


This project is written up in the "Using the Semantic Web for Rapid Integration of WikiPathways with Other Biological Online Data Resources" paper.

Prefixes

Within the example queries, we have omitted the prefixes. These prefixes are automatically used in the SPARQL endpoint. The following prefixes are used in the WikiPathways RDF:

Count the number of pathways per ontology term

In WikiPathways, pathways can be tagged with ontology terms from Pathway, Cell Line and Disease ontology. The following query returns a pathway count for each term from any of the available ontologies. These terms are collectively modeled as wp:pathwayOntology; but this includes all ontologies, not just the "Pathway" ontology.

SELECT DISTINCT ?pwOntologyTerm count(?pwOntologyTerm) as ?pathwayCount

Get all pathways with a particular ontology term

In WikiPathways, pathways can be tagged with ontology terms from Pathway, Cell Line and Disease ontology. The following query returns a list of pathways tagged with PW_0000296.

SELECT ?pathway (str(?titleLit) AS ?title)

The $ at the end of the PubMed identifier ensures that, for example, 147694831 does not match too; the regex instruction '$' means "end of the string".

Count how many genes from a list occur in one or more pathways

The gene list is given in the line starting with VALUES. For this example, we use the HGNC gene nomenclature.

Other gene IDs can be used to fill the list. However, keep in mind they use different URLs and therefore the prefix (first line of query) should be adapted. A list of these URLs can be found on identifiers.org (or by looking at the "raw" RDF files).

Data statistics oriented queries

Count the number of metabolites per species

Though strictly speaking, it guesstimates it, because it counts the number of unique metabolite identifiers. Normalization in the RDF generation code ensures we do not double count metabolites with identifiers from different databases, but it still differentially counts metabolites with different charge states.

Execute

Check the full list, to see which databases normally used for chemicals are not typed as Metabolites. Gene identifier sources are most likely at the bottom. Note: Wikidata can be used for Metabolites, Proteins, and Genes (but is preferably used only for Metabolites, since there are no mappings available yet to map to other gene databases).

Metabolites sometimes marked as DataNode@Type Metabolite

Based on label comparisons, we can find things that are labeled the same as a data node with the same label. Of course, this can give false positives, because genes can be incorrectly marked as metabolite in some pathway, but that is another SPARQL query. Another reasons is that sometimes genes and metabolites actually have the same name!

Metabolites with too many labels

This query can result in false positives too, particularly with the new RDF.

prefix wp:      <http://vocabularies.wikipathways.org/wp#>

  ?pathway a wp:Pathway .
} order by desc(?labelCount) ?mb 

Execute

And get the actual labels (and more) with (perform a ctrl+f to search for the term "label'):

Describe <https://identifiers.org/chebi/CHEBI:35366>

Execute

Or use this one, but mind that pathway/label combinations are combinatorial, because they share the same node:

select distinct ?pathway (str(?labelLit) as ?label)
where {
  <https://identifiers.org/hmdb/HMDB0001401> a wp:Metabolite;
    rdfs:label ?labelLit ;

Metabolites without a link to Wikidata

This query provides a list of IDs which might be relevant to add to Wikidata.

PREFIX wdt: <http://www.wikidata.org/prop/direct/>

SELECT DISTINCT ?metabolite WHERE {
  ?metabolite a wp:Metabolite .
  OPTIONAL { ?metabolite wp:bdbWikidata ?wikidata . }
  FILTER (!BOUND(?wikidata))

Execute

A variant sorting the metabolites by the number of pathways they occur in:

PREFIX wdt: <http://www.wikidata.org/prop/direct/>

SELECT ?metabolite (count(DISTINCT ?pathwayRes) as ?pathways) WHERE {
  ?metabolite a wp:Metabolite ;
    dcterms:identifier ?id ;
    dcterms:isPartOf ?pathwayRes .
  ?pathwayRes a wp:Pathway .
  OPTIONAL { ?metabolite wp:bdbWikidata ?wikidata . }
  FILTER (!BOUND(?wikidata))
} GROUP BY ?metabolite ORDER BY DESC(?pathways)

Execute

And finally, finding double mappings to Wikidata (which is also a nice curation task):

PREFIX wdt: <http://www.wikidata.org/prop/direct/>

SELECT DISTINCT ?metaboliteID (GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT ?wikidata;separator=", ") AS ?results) WHERE {
  ?metaboliteID a wp:Metabolite .

For php we recommend the arc2: Easy RDF and SPARQL for LAMP systems

R

The R package rrdf can be found and installed from https://github.com/egonw/rrdf.

   library(rrdf)
   sparql.remote(
     "https://sparql.wikipathways.org/sparql",
     "SELECT DISTINCT ?p WHERE { ?s ?p ?o }"
   )

Another option is to use the SPARQL-package (tested on Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS, R-studio version 1.4.1717, R version 4.1.0 (2021-05-18)).

  • Note the backslashes in front of the quotation marks in the VALUES claim; this is specifically needed in R to read these characters correctly.
  • Note this query is an example of how to perform a UNION query in WikiPathways.

Bioclipse

The below code works in both the JavaScript and the Groovy console:

   rdf.sparqlRemote(
     "https://sparql.wikipathways.org/sparql",
     "SELECT DISTINCT ?p WHERE { ?s ?p ?o }"
   )

SPARQL from the command line

For quick and easy querying, we recommend to use curl (Linux and OS X)

curl -F "query=SELECT * WHERE {?s ?p ?o} LIMIT 10" https://sparql.wikipathways.org/sparql
