dhimmel/hetionet repository overview

This docker image contains Hetionet — a biomedical network with 11 node types and 24 relationship types — as a Neo4j database. The source of the docker is available on the Hetionet GitHub⁠. Neo4j has been configured to be publicly accessible, and we host a dhimmel/hetionet container at https://neo4j.het.io⁠.

The image is currently highly specialized for our application and setup. For example, it includes a website-specific web analytics javascript. You can learn more our customizations here⁠. If you are simply looking to run a local Neo4j instance with Hetionet, you may find it easier to start with the database store⁠ only rather than this Docker.

Hetionet was created as part of Project Rephetio, which aimed to predict new uses for existing drugs. You can learn about this project on Thinklab⁠. This docker includes Neo4j Browser guides that detail each Project Rephetio prediction⁠.
