What This Enables in Target ID

Once the knowledge graph is built on direction-graded evidence, your target selection has something to stand on.

Validation-ready evidence — KG-Based Target Validation.

The same knowledge graph that ranked candidates requalifies them at the validation stage. Contradicting evidence noted at ranking becomes a validation gate.

From 20,000 genes to investment-ready targets.

Custom scoring across disease relevance, druggability, and proprietary signal. Delivered in production for COPD, metabolic disease, and complement biology programs.

Foundation for Spatial / GWAS / Patient Stratification programs.

Atlas supplies the pre-harmonized data that Cohorter queries. Cohort construction starts from clean, ontology-mapped records.

Part of the Elucidata service offering

The KG evidence pipeline is what differentiates Elucidata's Program Partner service from a KG license, it's the qualification layer that determines whether the graph is built on graded relationships or just co-occurrence counts.

KG-Based Target Ranking & Co-Build

The primary program type. Elucidata processes 8M+ full-text papers and qualifies every gene-disease relationship as supporting, contradicting, or neutral before writing a KG edge. Every edge carries direction and confidence. Delivered in production for COPD, metabolic disease, and AML programs.

KG-Based Target Validation

The same qualified evidence layer used for target ranking requalifies relationships at the validation stage. Delivered in production for complement-mediated disease programs.

Gene Disease Target Assessment

Polly KG is available as an optional evidence layer in Gene Disease Target Assessment engagements, supplying the biomedical knowledge graph that Polly Lens scores against.

FAQs

Questions From Every Evaluation Call

What is the difference between a co-occurrence knowledge graph and a qualified biomedical knowledge graph?

Co-occurrence counts how often a gene and disease appear together. Polly's KG separates supporting from contradicting evidence before writing any edge. For target identification in drug discovery, that distinction determines which candidates make the shortlist.

What is the difference between KG-Based Target Ranking & Co-Build and KG-Based Target Validation?

Target Ranking narrows 20,000 genes to a ranked shortlist using the knowledge graph. Target Validation uses the same qualified evidence to stress-test specific candidates before wet-lab commit. Both use direction-graded evidence. The question changes: 'who should we pursue?' versus 'does this candidate hold up?'

How does Polly KG support target identification in drug discovery?

The Polly Knowledge Graph gives your scoring layer direction-graded evidence, not raw co-occurrence counts. Candidates with mixed or contradicting evidence are flagged before they reach the shortlist.

Can the knowledge graph handle rare targets or thin literature?

Yes. Full-text processing recovers evidence from supplementary sections and methods text that abstract-only tools miss. Proprietary in-house datasets go through the same qualification pipeline as public literature.

How often is the knowledge graph updated?

PubMed Central literature is ingested continuously. Proprietary data integrates at program milestones.

What stage of target discovery does Polly KG support?

The full range, from initial target discovery through target validation. The same KG that ranks 20,000 genes also carries the contradicting evidence your team needs at the validation stage.

How does AI-driven drug discovery benefit from Polly KG?

AI models that query a co-occurrence graph amplify noise. Polly KG gives AI models qualified, direction-graded inputs, so your models start from defensible evidence.

Cross-study comparison across previously siloed modalities.

Single cell RNA seq and proteomics from different studies become comparable in one query, not a multi-week project.

Multimodal data integration without per-query cleaning.

Single cell RNA seq, spatial transcriptomics, bulk RNA-seq, and clinical data run through differential expression and cohort comparison on day one.

Data Flow Engineering & ETL Pipelines

Atlas is the data store that ETL pipeline engagements write to. Every harmonized record is queryable from the day the pipeline goes live.

Cell Annotation + Data Harmonization

Atlas provides the ontology-mapped schema that makes cross-study cell annotation consistent across public and proprietary datasets.

Questions From Every Atlas Evaluation Call

What is Atlas, vs. a data lake or warehouse?

A data lake stores raw files. Atlas stores harmonized, ontology-mapped records with cross-study entity resolution and a unified schema for multimodal data integration queries.

What types of data does Atlas harmonize?

25+ modalities: single cell RNA seq, spatial transcriptomics, bulk RNA-seq, proteomics, metabolomics, ATAC-seq, methylation, WES, WGS, and clinical phenotype. All go through the same data harmonization pipeline.

Which Elucidata programs use Polly Atlas?

Spatial / GWAS / Patient Stratification (Translational), Data Flow Engineering & ETL Pipelines (Infrastructure), and Cell Annotation + Data Harmonization (Data). Atlas is the harmonized data layer those programs query or write to.

How does Atlas handle multimodal data integration across public and proprietary datasets?

Both go through the same harmonization pipeline and live in the same schema after ingestion. Cross-modal queries mixing GEO data and proprietary data run without a separate alignment step.

How does Atlas stay current?

Continuous ingestion across 30+ repositories. New GEO and PMC datasets processed automatically. Proprietary datasets integrate on the client's schedule.

Questions From Every Target ID Evaluation Call

What document types does Xtract handle?

PDFs (native and scanned), Word, spreadsheets, HTML tables, CRO reports, EMR exports, and clinical protocols. No pre-processing required.

Why four specialized agents rather than one general LLM?

A general LLM loses context in long documents and returns no confidence signal. Xtract's four-agent pipeline is built for machine-grade data curation at scale.

What accuracy benchmarks does Xtract achieve?

98% field-level accuracy on binary and categorical fields. In benchmarks against human expert review, Xtract processes the same volume of clinical protocols in a fraction of the time.

Which Elucidata programs use Polly Xtract?

KG-Based Target Ranking & Co-Build, KG-Based Target Validation, and Spatial / GWAS / Patient Stratification. Xtract structures proprietary documents for KG ingestion in Program engagements, and curates patient-level data for Translational programs.

How does Xtract support target identification in drug discovery?

Xtract turns unstructured documents into structured records ready for knowledge graph ingestion. Proprietary evidence enters the knowledge graph with full source traceability.

Can Xtract process proprietary data?

Yes. Internal assay reports, LIMS exports, and regulatory submissions all go through the same pipeline.

Questions From Every Target ID Evaluation Call

How is Scout different from doing a GEO or PubMed search ourselves?

Scout searches a pre-curated, ontology-mapped corpus of 800,000+ studies across 30+ repositories simultaneously, with multi-pass LLM filtering that understands I/E criteria semantically. Output is a ranked tiered shortlist, not a results list.

Where does Scout fit in a target ID program?

Scout is the data acquisition step. You use it to find the right public datasets before building your knowledge graph. Scout → KG build → Polly Lens evidence reports → Target Prioritization Dashboard.

What does 'managed service' mean - do we need to learn a new tool?

No. You submit your target ID criteria. An Elucidata SME runs the audit and delivers the shortlist. Your team's involvement is at the review stage. No interface to learn, no pipeline to operate.

How long does a Scout audit take?

Standard audits complete in under 2.5 hours of calendar time. Prior manual method: 5-25 days per project.

Can Scout datasets feed directly into a knowledge graph build?

Yes. P1 datasets flow into Polly's Data Concierge for ingestion and harmonization - 25+ modalities, 4,000+ samples/week, 30+ bioinformatics pipelines. Scout is the data acquisition phase; Data Concierge is the data preparation phase.
