Building a biological knowledge graph at Pendulum using Amazon Neptune
At Pendulum, we combine state-of-the-art genome sequencing, cell culturing, and manufacturing processes to produce Pendulum Glucose Control, the only medical probiotic clinically shown to lower blood glucose spikes for the dietary management of type 2 diabetes through the gut microbiome. Research and development at Pendulum requires the synthesis of a diverse set of rich data and information streams, and this year we undertook a project to aggregate much of our data into a single database, the Pendulum knowledge graph, which integrates publicly available information on bacterial metabolism with the DNA sequencing data we generate for our strains.
