TL;DR: DisGeNET is a versatile platform that can be used for different research purposes including the investigation of the molecular underpinnings of specific human diseases and their comorbidities, the analysis of the properties of disease genes, the generation of hypothesis on drug therapeutic action and drug adverse effects, the validation of computationally predicted disease genes and the evaluation of text-mining methods performance.

TL;DR: The DisGeNET platform, a knowledge management platform integrating and standardizing data about disease associated genes and variants from multiple sources, is an interoperable resource supporting a variety of applications in genomic medicine and drug R&D.

TL;DR: One of the most comprehensive collections of human gene-disease associations and a valuable set of tools for investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying diseases of genetic origin, designed to fulfill the needs of different user profiles, are offered.

TL;DR: The history of the AOP concept and its most prominent strengths are discussed, including the advantages of a formalized approach, the systematic collection of weight of evidence, the linkage of mechanisms to apical end points, the examination of the plausibility of epidemiological data, the identification of critical knowledge gaps and the design of mechanistic test methods.

TL;DR: Are the knowledge repositories of signalling pathways ready to realize the systems biology promise?
