Monarch Initiative

The Monarch Initiative plugin allows users to search and retrieve basic information from the Monarch Initiative knowledge graph. It enables users to search for entities such as genes, diseases, and phenotypes by name to obtain their associated ontology identifier. Users can also retrieve associations between entities using their identifiers, access general information about sets of entities, and search for genes and diseases related to phenotypic profiles. The plugin supports the use of synonyms for biomedical terms and provides lay descriptions of phenotypes to aid users who may not be familiar with biomedical terminology. Users can set the offset and limit parameters to obtain more comprehensive results. The plugin indicates the total number of available results, ensuring users are aware that the results may not be exhaustive. Please note that Monarch Initiative data is not intended for clinical decision making, diagnoses, or medical advice. Links to the Monarch Initiative are included for all results to provide further information.
