medgen-umls
This package greatly simplifies the creation of local mirrors for NLM National Library of Medicine sources, which currently includes:
- NCBI Medical Genetics linked sources
- UMLS Unified Medical Language System
- PubMed annotated content
Mirrored datastores are then converted automatically to SQL database (currently MySQL supported with plans to support generic SQL).
medgen-umls was made with simplicity and automation in mind. Over 100 URLs (and counting) have been rounded up, their data normalized for database manipulation, to provide ease of access to as much open access medical genomics data as possible.
medgen-umls is a free and open source library under the [Apache 2.0 License](http://www.apache.org/licenses/), a copy of which is included within the repository.
All questions, concerns, support, and curse words should be directed to package maintainers Andy McMurry ( [email protected] ) and medgen-mysql contributors.
Contributions to this library are encouraged via fork and pull request. Diffs may be accepted when attached to nicely written emails.
Any Unix-like operating system (including OS X) will run medgen-umls.
Medgen-umls downloads are automated via Makefile and run entirely within bash scripts. Thus the requirements are small:
- bash
- wget
- mysql (optional)
It's possible to use this repository for downloading purposes only. See "USAGE" for details.
Clone this repository using Mercurial:
git clone [email protected]:comorbidity/medgen-umls.git cd medgen-umls
If you only want to download medgen-umls files, you do NOT need MySQL. If you to save files to MySQL you need a running server and mysql user https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/create-user.html
The first time you use this repository, you must run the database scripts that create a mysql user that will be able to load the medgen databases:
make user
(Note that MySQL must be running and you must have the ability to use the "root" superuser.)
make all
If you want every database downloaded and installed, simply run make all. Done.
Note that due to the size of some of these databases, it could take days to run everything the first time. Successive runs will take far less time since only newer files will be downloaded to your local mirror.
make <dbname>
The Makefile in the root of the medgen-mysql directory provides ability to make <dbname>
for each supported database. (See below for complete list.)
For each database desired, type make <dbname> to complete all of the tasks associated
with downloading, extracting, and inputting to MySQL these particular sources.
For example, make clinvar will complete the following steps:
./mirror.sh clinvar/urls ./unpack.sh clinvar ./create_database.sh clinvar ./load_database.sh clinvar ./index_database.sh clinvar
All of the above steps can be run individually on the command line, so if you only want
to run the download script, run ./mirror.sh <dbname>/urls, which puts downloaded content
into <dbname>/mirror.
Note that already-downloaded files will not be re-downloaded, as long as wget is convinced that the remote and local files are identical. If these files are not identical, wget will redownload this particular file.
This conservative updating means that you can schedule regular updates of your medical genetics databases without overusing your connection.
Note also that datasets vary widely in how much disk space they require. Some datasets are EXTREMELY LARGE. Average use is usally ~ 50GB.

- mirror.sh mirrors a dataset with wget
- create_database.sh creates a mysql database with common loading procedures and logging
- unpack.sh unzip and untar mirrored content
- load_database.sh imports unpacked content into mysql database
- $mysql_dataset opens mysql client for the current dataset

$./mirror.sh medgen/urls $./mirror.sh gene/urls $./mirror.sh GTR/urls $./mirror.sh clinvar/urls $./mirror.sh hpo/urls $./mirror.sh GeneReviews/urls
example2: mirror PubMed annotations containing gene mutations with primary sources
$./mirror.sh PubTator $./mirror.sh gene/urls $./mirror.sh pubmed/urls
example: create mysql database for PubTator
$./create_database.sh PubTator
example: unzip PubTator mirrored flat files
$./unpack.sh PubTator
example: load PubTator database with mirrored flat files
$./load_database.sh PubTator
- $mysql_dataset opens mysql client for the current dataset
- processlist show active SQL commands with elapsed time (selects, DML, indexes)
- info table schema with load statistics
example: open a mysql client for the PubTator database
source ./PubTator/db.config $mysql_dataset
example: show PubTator tables and statistics. Make you have sufficent MEMORY for the indexes! | To check on the status of the load see processlist .
