Helix Malaria Project  Page

The goals of the Malaria project are:

• Development of an ontology to support the representation, distribution, and use of scientific data related to the parasite Plasmodium falciparum
• Representation of information related to molecular function as well as high-level processes in a format that is both machine interpretable and human readable. Examples include
  • A knowledge-model of biological process and function, based on Workflow and Petri Net models
  • Assembling the metabolic functions of P. falciparum into pathways using the EcoCyc framework
  • Natural Language Processing applications to populate the ontology we are creating

Results

• A knowledge-model of biological process and function, based on Workflow and Petri Net models
