Module: BEL::Translator::Plugins::BelScript::BelTopDownSerialization

Includes:
NanopubSerialization
Defined in:
lib/bel/translator/plugins/bel_script/bel_top_down_serialization.rb

Overview

BEL Script nanopub serialization that writes nanopubs sequentially while including only the necessary unsetting of annotations (i.e. BEL Script’s UNSET AnnotationName syntax).

Examples:

Top-down serialization for a group of nanopubs

SET Citation = {"PubMed", "Journal...", "12857727", "2003-08-11", "", ""}
SET Support = "USF1 and USF2 bound the IGF2R promoter in vitro, ..."
SET CellLine = "MCF 10A"
SET TextLocation = Abstract
complex(p(HGNC:USF1),g(HGNC:IGF2R))

complex(p(HGNC:USF2),g(HGNC:IGF2R))

tscript(p(HGNC:USF2)) directlyIncreases r(HGNC:IGF2R)

tscript(p(HGNC:USF1)) causesNoChange r(HGNC:IGF2R)

SET Support = "c-Myc was present on the CDK4 promoter to the ..."
complex(p(HGNC:MYC),g(HGNC:CDK4))

Instance Method Details

#to_bel(nanopub) ⇒ String

Serialize the nanopub to a BEL Script string. Includes all necessary SET AnnotationName and UNSET AnnotationName records within the scope of a citation’s statement group.

Parameters:

  • nanopub (BEL::Nanopub::Nanopub) —

    the nanopub to serialize

Returns:

  • (String) —

    the BEL Script string
