Google BigQuery

To support more complex queries and advanced informatics workflows that use Google Cloud services, the Open Targets Platform data is also available as a Google Cloud public dataset 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.

Open Targets Platform data is publicly accessible as a Google Cloud public dataset. Users only pay for the queries they perform on the data, and through this program, the first 1 TB per month is free.

BigQuery access points

Open Targets has uploaded all of our data to Google BigQuery. You can run queries via:

For more information on BiqQuery, please review the BigQuery documentation.

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.

SELECT
  associations.targetId AS target_id,
  targets.approvedSymbol AS target_approved_symbol,
  associations.diseaseId AS disease_id,
  diseases.name AS disease_name,
  associations.score AS overall_association_score
FROM
  `open-targets-prod.platform.associationByOverallDirect` AS associations
JOIN
  `open-targets-prod.platform.diseases` AS diseases
ON
  associations.diseaseId = diseases.id
JOIN
  `open-targets-prod.platform.targets` AS targets
ON
  associations.targetId = targets.id
WHERE
  associations.diseaseId='EFO_0000676'
ORDER BY
  associations.score DESC

Similarly, you can use our molecule dataset and pass a list of drug trade names to find relevant information:

DECLARE
  my_drug_list ARRAY<STRING>;
SET
  my_drug_list = [ 'Premarin',
  'Calcium disodium versenate',
  'Keytruda',
  'Vioxx',
  'Humira' ];
SELECT
  id AS drug_id,
  name AS drug_chembl_name,
  tradeNameList.element AS drug_trade_name,
  drugType AS drug_type,
  isApproved AS drug_is_approved,
  blackBoxWarning AS drug_blackbox_warning,
  hasBeenWithdrawn AS drug_withdrawn,
FROM
  `open-targets-prod.platform.molecule`,
  UNNEST (tradeNames.list) AS tradeNameList
WHERE
  (tradeNameList.element) IN UNNEST(my_drug_list)
