Ethnicity

lamindb provides access to the following public Ethnicity ontologies through bionty:

  1. Human Ancestry Ontology

Here we show how to access and search Ethnicity ontologies to standardize new data.

import bionty as bt
import pandas as pd

PublicOntology objects

Let us create a public ontology accessor with .public method, which chooses a default public ontology source from Source. It’s a PublicOntology object, which you can think about as a public registry:

ethnicitys = bt.Ethnicity.public(organism="human")
ethnicitys
→ connected lamindb: testuser1/test-public-ontologies
PublicOntology
Entity: Ethnicity
Organism: human
Source: hancestro, 3.0
#terms: 342

As for registries, you can export the ontology as a DataFrame:

df = ethnicitys.df()
df.head()
name definition synonyms parents
ontology_id
HANCESTRO:0002 region Any Geographic Area Greater Than An Individual... geographical area []
HANCESTRO:0003 country A Collective Generic Term That Refers Here To ... None []
HANCESTRO:0004 ancestry category Population Category Defined Using Ancestry Inf... ancestral group []
HANCESTRO:0005 European Includes Individuals Who Either Self-Report Or... Caucasian|white [HANCESTRO:0004]
HANCESTRO:0006 South Asian Includes Individuals Who Either Self-Report Or... None [HANCESTRO:0008]

Unlike registries, you can also export it as a Pronto object via public.ontology.

Look up terms

As for registries, terms can be looked up with auto-complete:

lookup = ethnicitys.lookup()

The . accessor provides normalized terms (lower case, only contains alphanumeric characters and underscores):

lookup.american
Ethnicity(ontology_id='HANCESTRO:0463', name='American', definition=None, synonyms=None, parents=array(['HANCESTRO:0566'], dtype=object))

To look up the exact original strings, convert the lookup object to dict and use the [] accessor:

lookup_dict = lookup.dict()
lookup_dict["American"]
Ethnicity(ontology_id='HANCESTRO:0463', name='American', definition=None, synonyms=None, parents=array(['HANCESTRO:0566'], dtype=object))

By default, the name field is used to generate lookup keys. You can specify another field to look up:

lookup = ethnicitys.lookup(ethnicitys.ontology_id)
lookup.hancestro_0463
Ethnicity(ontology_id='HANCESTRO:0463', name='American', definition=None, synonyms=None, parents=array(['HANCESTRO:0566'], dtype=object))

Search terms

Search behaves in the same way as it does for registries:

ethnicitys.search("American").head(3)
ontology_id definition synonyms parents __ratio__
name
American HANCESTRO:0463 None None [HANCESTRO:0566] 100.0
African American HANCESTRO:0568 None None [HANCESTRO:0016] 90.0
African American or Afro-Caribbean HANCESTRO:0016 Includes Individuals Who Either Self-Report Or... None [HANCESTRO:0004] 90.0

By default, search also covers synonyms:

ethnicitys.search("Caucasian").head(3)
ontology_id definition synonyms parents __ratio__
name
European HANCESTRO:0005 Includes Individuals Who Either Self-Report Or... Caucasian|white [HANCESTRO:0004] 100.0
Asian HANCESTRO:0008 Includes Individuals That Either Self-Report O... Asian unspecified [HANCESTRO:0004] 90.0
Asia HANCESTRO:0030 None None [] 90.0

You can turn this off synonym by passing synonyms_field=None:

ethnicitys.search("Caucasian", synonyms_field=None).head(3)
ontology_id definition synonyms parents __ratio__
name
Asian HANCESTRO:0008 Includes Individuals That Either Self-Report O... Asian unspecified [HANCESTRO:0004] 90.0
Asia HANCESTRO:0030 None None [] 90.0
Syrian HANCESTRO:0461 None None [HANCESTRO:0015] 72.0

Search another field (default is .name):

ethnicitys.search(
    "General characterisation of Ancestry of a population",
    field=ethnicitys.definition,
).head()
ontology_id name synonyms parents __ratio__
definition
General Characterisation Of The Ancestry Of A Population Or Individual HANCESTRO:0304 ancestry status None [] 85.245902
A Population With Increased Genetic Homogeneity And Reduced Genetic Variation Due To Cultural Or Geographic Isolation HANCESTRO:0290 genetically isolated population founder population|population isolate [HANCESTRO:0004] 42.857143

Includes Individuals Who Either Self-Report Or Have Been Described By Authors As Singaporean Malay. HANCESTRO:0597 Singaporean Malay None [HANCESTRO:0007] 38.666667
Population Category Defined Using Ancestry Informative Markers (Aims) Based On Genetic/Genomic Data HANCESTRO:0004 ancestry category ancestral group [] 38.410596

Standardize Ethnicity identifiers

Let us generate a DataFrame that stores a number of Ethnicity identifiers, some of which corrupted:

df_orig = pd.DataFrame(
    index=[
        "Mende",
        "European",
        "South Asian",
        "Arab",
        "This ethnicity does not exist",
    ]
)
df_orig
Mende
European
South Asian
Arab
This ethnicity does not exist

We can check whether any of our values are validated against the ontology reference:

validated = ethnicitys.validate(df_orig.index, ethnicitys.name)
df_orig.index[~validated]
! 1 term (20.00%) is not validated: This ethnicity does not exist
Index(['This ethnicity does not exist'], dtype='object')

Ontology source versions

For any given entity, we can choose from a number of versions:

bt.Ethnicity.list_source().df()
Hide code cell output
uid entity organism name version in_db currently_used description url md5 source_website dataframe_artifact_id run_id created_by_id updated_at
id

When instantiating a Bionty object, we can choose a source or version:

source = bt.Source.filter(
    name="hancestro", version="3.0", organism="human"
).one()
ethnicitys= bt.Ethnicity.public(source=source)
ethnicitys
PublicOntology
Entity: Ethnicity
Organism: human
Source: hancestro, 3.0
#terms: 342

The currently used ontologies can be displayed using:

bt.Source.filter(currently_used=True).df()
