About KnetMiner
KnetMiner is an ever-evolving project, primarily funded by the Delivering Sustainable Wheat project. We’ve spun-out from the Rothamsted Research umbrella (one of the oldest agricultural research institutions in the world - founded in 1843). KnetMiner is by scientists, for scientists; delivering a curation of scientific knowledge and interactions through a massive Knowledge Graph, consisting of over four million nodes and nearly 18 million edges. The development of KnetMiner has arisen from many years of interdisciplinary research between bioinformaticians, computer scientists and plant biologists. A plethora of diverse crop, insect and pathogen datasets needed to be connected with well curated model species data and the scientific literature information. KnetMiner is the first gene discovery platform for the biological sciences, unearthing previously unknown links between genes, gene networks and traits by searching across species and the boundaries between academic disciplines.
