synlethdb

is a Data Source.

SynLethDB is a comprehensive database of synthetic lethality (SL) gene pairs and synthetic lethality-related interactions in human and other species. It aggregates SL and synthetic dosage lethality relationships assembled from biochemical and genetic screens, curated literature, other databases, and computational predictions, each annotated with supporting evidence and confidence scores. SynLethDB 2.0 further packages these relationships as a web-based knowledge graph (SynLethKG) that connects genes with compounds, diseases, pathways, and other biomedical entities to support anticancer drug-target discovery. It is the primary synthetic lethality data source underlying SynLethKG and downstream methods such as KG4SL.

SynLethDB

Overview

SynLethDB is a comprehensive database of synthetic lethality (SL) gene pairs and related genetic interactions, developed by the Zheng Lab at ShanghaiTech University. It brings together synthetic lethality and synthetic dosage lethality relationships from genetic and biochemical screens, curated literature, other databases, and computational predictions, each annotated with supporting evidence and confidence scores.

SynLethKG

SynLethDB 2.0 released SynLethKG, a knowledge graph that embeds the curated synthetic lethality relationships within a broader biomedical network linking genes to compounds, diseases, pathways, and other entities. SynLethKG is the structured graph used by the KG4SL synthetic lethality prediction method, which integrates SynLethDB relationships with additional biomedical relations from Hetionet.
