BioNetDB models biology data as a network of nodes and relations.Biology data comes from different formats and sources it comprises  system biology data from Reactome, annotation data from CellBase and human genetic variations from healthcare centers' clinical data. BioNetDB relies on Neo4j graph database that allows users to access biological data using the Cypher query language (similar to SQL in relational databases).


The figure below shows BioNetDB nodes with their labels. for clarity, that labels may be shortened:
