Drug Repurposing Knowledge Graph (DRKG) is a comprehensive biological knowledge graph relating genes, compounds, diseases, biological processes, side effects and symptoms. DRKG includes information from six existing databases including DrugBank, Hetionet, GNBR, String, IntAct and DGIdb, and data collected from recent publications particularly related to Covid19. It includes 97,238 entities belonging to 13 entity-types; and 5,874,261 triplets belonging to 107 edge-types. These 107 edge-types show a type of interaction between one of the 17 entity-type pairs (multiple types of interactions are possible between the same entity-pair), as depicted in the figure below. It also includes a bunch of notebooks about how to explore and analysis the DRKG using statistical methodologies or using machine learning methodologies such as knowledge graph embedding.
Figure: Interactions in the DRKG. The number next to an edge indicates the number of relation-types for that entity-pair in DRKG.
The type-wise distribution of the entities in DRKG and their original data-source(s) is shown in following table.

To analyze DRKG, you can directly download drkg by following commands:
wget https://dgl-data.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/dataset/DRKG/drkg.tar.gz
If you use our notebooks provided in this repository, you don't need to download the file manually. The notebooks can automatically download the file for you.
When you untar drkg.tar.gz, you will see the following files:
./drkg.tsv
./entity2src.tsv
./relation_glossary.tsv
./embed
./embed/DRKG_TransE_l2_relation.npy
./embed/relations.tsv
./embed/entities.tsv
./embed/Readme.md
./embed/DRKG_TransE_l2_entity.npy
./embed/mol_contextpred.npy
./embed/mol_masking.npy
./embed/mol_infomax.npy
./embed/mol_edgepred.npy
The whole dataset contains four part:
- drkg.tsv, a tsv file containing the original drkg in the format of (h, r, t) triplets.
- embed, a folder containing the pretrained Knowledge Graph Embedding using the entire drkg.tsv as the training set and pretrained GNN-based molecule embeddings from molecule SMILES
- entity2src.tsv, a file mapping entities in drkg to their original sources.
- relation_glossary.tsv, a file containing rge glossary of the relations in DRKG, and other associated information with sources (if available).
The DRKG mebedding is trained using TransE_l2 model with dimention size of 400, there are four files:
- DRKG_TransE_l2_entity.npy, NumPy binary data, storing the entity embedding
- DRKG_TransE_l2_relation.npy, NumPy binary data, storing the relation embedding
- entities.tsv, mapping from entity_name to tentity_id.
- relations.tsv, mapping from relation_name to relation_id
To use the pretrained embedding, one can use np.load to load the entity embeddings and relation embeddings separately:
import numpy as np
entity_emb = np.load('./embed/DRKG_TransE_l2_entity.npy')
rel_emb = np.load('./embed/DRKG_TransE_l2_relation.npy')
We also provide molecule embeddings for most small-molecule drugs in DrugBank using pre-trained GNNs. In particular, Strategies for Pre-training Graph Neural Networks develops multiple approaches for pre-training GNN-based molecular representations, combining supervised molecular property prediction with self-supervised learning approaches. We employ their method to compute four variants of molecule embeddings using DGL-LifeSci.
mol_contextpred.npy: From a model pre-trained to predict surrounding graph structures of molecular subgraphsmol_infomax.npy: From a model pre-trained to maximize the mutual information between local node representations and a global graph representationmol_edgepred.npy: From a model pre-trained to encourage nearby nodes to have similar representations and enforcing disparate notes to have distinct representationsmol_masking.npy: From a model pre-trained to predict randomly masked node and edge attributes
We analyze DRKG with some deep learning frameworks, including DGL (a framework for graph neural networks) and DGL-KE (a library for computing knowledge graph embeddings). Please follow the instructions below to install the deep learning frameworks.
Currently all notebooks use PyTorch as Deep Learning backend. For install other version of pytorch please goto Install PyTorch
sudo pip3 install torch==1.5.0+cu101 torchvision==0.6.0+cu101 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html
Please install DGL (a framework for graph neural networks) with the following command. It installs DGL with CUDA support.
sudo pip3 install dgl-cu101
For installing other versions of DGL, please go to Install DGL
If you want to training the model with notebooks (e.g., using Train_embeddings.ipynb or Edge_score_analysis.ipynb) at [knowledge-graph-embedding-based-analysis-of-drkg], you need to install both DGL and DGL-KE package here. DGL-KE can work with DGL >= 0.4.3 (either CPU or GPU)
sudo pip3 install dglke
We provide a set of notebooks to analyze DRKG. Some of the notebooks use the tools installed in the previous section.
To evaluate the structural similarity among a pair of relation types we compute their Jaccard similarity coefficient and the overlap among the two edge types via the overlap coeffcient. This analysis is given in
We analyze the extracted DRKG by learning a TransE KGE model that utilizes the distance. As DRKG combines information from different data sources, we want to verify that meaningful entity and relation embeddings can be generated using knowledge graph embedding technology.
We split the edge triplets in training, validation and test sets as follows 90%, 5%, and 5% and train the KGE model as shown in following notebook:
Finally, we obtain the entity and relation embeddings for the DRKG. We can do various embedding based analysis as provided in the following notebooks:
- Relation_similarity_analysis.ipynb, analyzing the generate relation embedding similarity.
- Entity_similarity_analysis.ipynb, analyzing the generate entity embedding similarity.
- Edge_score_analysis.ipynb, evaluating whether the learned KGE model can predict the edges of DRGK
- Edge_similarity_based_on_link_recommendation_results.ipynb, evaluating how similar are the predicted links among different relation types.
We present an example of using pretrained DRKG model for drug repurposing for COVID-19. In the example, we directly use the pretrained model provided at DRKG dataset and proposed 100 drugs for COVID-19. The following notebook provides the details:
We provide a notebook, with example of using DRKG with Deep Graph Library (DGL).
The following notebook provides an example of building a heterograph from DRKG in DGL; and some examples of queries on the DGL heterograph:
Some additional information about compounds from DrugBank is included in drugbank_info, including the type and weight of drugs, and the SMILES of small-molecule drugs.
