    I’ve used Allegrograph about 12 years ago to build a database of biological data and found the querying results to be very nice. It fits biological data very well, but it’s been a while so I can’t exactly remember why I felt that way now.

    I remember learning that Wikipedia had an export format that you could import into graph databases and the idea that I could easily link diseases or terms to their Wikipedia article was pretty neat.

    I’m working on installing a program right now that relies on a graph database backend to bridge databases about genetic sequencing mutations (simplified language for general audiences) to known drugs that could be effective against cancers with that mutation. Here’s hoping it works well!
