Hints on how to use Pharmacoracle (version 1)
==Pharmacoracle - a REST API based on the OWLAPI==The Pharmacoracle contains data from OWL ontologies that are based on CPIC recommendations provided by the [https://api.pharmgkb.org PharmGKB API], and which have been further adapted curated to satisfy the [http://www.anx.no needs of the Department of Pharmacology at Oslo University Hospital].
Queries The Pharmacoracle was implemented as an attempt to Pharmacoracle are written in understand the [https://www.w3.org/TR/owl2-manchester-syntax/ Manchester syntax] in field of pharmacogenomics, based on data from PharmGKB, and solving the same way problem as for the PharmGKB's PharmCAT software [https://protegewikigithub.stanford.educom/wikiPharmGKB/DLQueryTab DL Query Tab] of [https:PharmCAT//protege.stanford.edu/ Stanford's desktop Protégéwiki PharmCAT software]. An advantage , but in the context of this approach is that the queries replaces the need technology and clinical recommendations of a separate rules engine (rules are to some extent built into the OWL semantics). A disadvantage is that the performance in a production environment may be suboptimal (slow)our clinic.
===Pharmacoracle version 1===The first version of the Pharmacoracle is based on the [http://owlcs.github.io/owlapi/ OWLAPI]Queries to Pharmacoracle have to be written in the [https://www.w3.org/TR/owl2-manchester-syntax/ Manchester syntax] in the same way as for the [https://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/DLQueryTab DL Query Tab] of [https://protege.stanford.edu/ Stanford's desktop Protégé]. The choice of technology was inspired by the [https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0093769 Ontology-Based, Mobile-Optimized System for Pharmacogenomic Decision Support at the Point-of-Care] of the [http://upgx.eu UPGx] project. The [https://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/GENE-CDS ontology of Mathias Samwald] is at the core of this system. They use the [http://trowl.org/ TrOWL reasoner] instead of the [http://www.hermit-reasoner.com/ HermIT] reasoner that is at the core of Pharmacoracle. The Pharmacoracle infrastructure is written in Python, and the [http://owlcs.github.io/owlapi/ OWLAPI] is invoked from Python via [https://pexpect.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ Pexpect]. For curation, a link between OWL classes and Python is provided by [http://www.lesfleursdunormal.fr/static/_downloads/article_owlready_aim_2017.pdf Jean Baptiste Lamy's Owlready2], which we use to translate PharmGKB's JSON-LD to OWL. The Pharmacoracle is used in our PGx analysis script [[Pharmacolyzer]], but can also be used directly. ===Hints on how to use it Pharmacoracle (see also example section belowversion 1)===In order to do write queries to an OWL ontology we need to know the names of the OWL elements , notably OWL Properties (publication of this e.g. has_haplotype) and and OWL Classes (e.g. TPMTstar3A) <ref>The Oslo University Hospital PGx OWL ontology that is used by the Pharmacoracle is still pendingwork in progress, but PharmGKB nomenclature it is kept where possible)to have a closer, off-line look at the latest OWL version of the [https://www.pgx.no/farmakorakel/haplotypes.owl GRCh37 star allele definitions], which is best studied in [https://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/Protege4UserDocs Stanford's Desktop Protégé]. For an introduction to PGx OWL ontology curation, have a look at our tutorial for [[WebProtege]]</ref>.  In addition we need to know the Manchester expressions of cardinality that are used to connect OWL Properties (e.g. has_haplotype) and OWL Classes (e.g. TPMTstar3A), in particular:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
|}
In order to query the Pharmacoracle automatically, we have made a Python script [[Pharmacolyzer]] that returns dosing recommendation based on a [[Pharmacotyper|pharmacotyped]] patient VCF.
