Bio2BEL HMDB¶

Bio2BEL HMDB is a package which allows the user to work with a local sqlite version of the Human Metabolome Database (HMDB).

Next to creating the local database there are also functions provided, which will enrich given Biological Expression Language (BEL) graphs with information about metabolites, proteins and diseases, that is present in HMDB.

HMDB BEL namespaces for these BEL graphs can be written.
