Google BigQuery
To support more complex queries and advanced informatics workflows that use Google Cloud services, the Open Targets Platform data is also available via our Google BigQuery instance - open-targets-prod.
What is Google BigQuery?
Google BigQuery is a data warehouse that enables researchers to run super-fast, asynchronous SQL queries using Google's cloud infrastructure. After running your query, you can either export into various formats or copy into a Google Cloud bucket for further downstream analyses.
BigQuery access points
Open Targets has uploaded all of our data to Google BigQuery. You can run queries via:
Example BigQuery SQL queries
Below is a sample query that uses our
associationByOverallDirect dataset to return a list of targets associated with psoriasis (EFO_0000676) and the overall association score.1
SELECT
2
associations.targetId AS target_id,
3
targets.approvedSymbol AS target_approved_symbol,
4
associations.diseaseId AS disease_id,
5
diseases.name AS disease_name,
6
associations.score AS overall_association_score
7
FROM
8
`open-targets-prod.platform.associationByOverallDirect` AS associations
9
JOIN
10
`open-targets-prod.platform.diseases` AS diseases
11
ON
12
associations.diseaseId = diseases.id
13
JOIN
14
`open-targets-prod.platform.targets` AS targets
15
ON
16
associations.targetId = targets.id
17
WHERE
18
associations.diseaseId='EFO_0000676'
19
ORDER BY
20
associations.score DESC

Similarly, you can use our
molecule dataset and pass a list of drug trade names to find relevant information:1
DECLARE
2
my_drug_list ARRAY<STRING>;
3
SET
4
my_drug_list = [ 'Premarin',
5
'Calcium disodium versenate',
6
'Keytruda',
7
'Vioxx',
8
'Humira' ];
9
SELECT
10
id AS drug_id,
11
name AS drug_chembl_name,
12
tradeNameList.element AS drug_trade_name,
13
drugType AS drug_type,
14
isApproved AS drug_is_approved,
15
blackBoxWarning AS drug_blackbox_warning,
16
hasBeenWithdrawn AS drug_withdrawn,
17
FROM
18
`open-targets-prod.platform.molecule`,
19
UNNEST (tradeNames.list) AS tradeNameList
20
WHERE
21
(tradeNameList.element) IN UNNEST(my_drug_list)
