  • 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!












  • Beyond Meat burgers have this thing where if they’re charred, the charred bits taste AMAZING. I first discovered this when I ordered one from a restaurant and I wanted to know what seasoning they used because it was unique and delicious. Turns out it was just luck from having the burgers charred just a bit.
