Virtual Lab
Evidence Vault
Preserves scientific evidence together with its experimental, assay, and bibliographic context rather than reducing heterogeneous evidence to isolated scalar values.
Purpose
How can heterogeneous binding, assay, and activity measurements be stored such that experimental protocols, operators, assay types, and publication provenance remain inspectable and machine-queryable?
How it works
A typed property graph that explicitly links chemical compounds through granular assay measurements to biological protein targets and parent publications. Scalar numbers are never stored in isolation.
- Context Preservation: Scientific evidence loses meaning when provenance and experimental context are discarded.
- Explicit Relational Lineage: Paper reports Measurement; Measurement generated by Assay; Assay targets Protein.
- Bounded Bipartite Verification: Exact match between database cross-references across 7 public repositories.
Key findings
Database Cross-Contradiction
OBSERVEDCross-referencing 7 databases revealed identical numeric values labeled with conflicting inequality operators (< vs =).
Context Preservation Prevents Label Noise
SUPPORTEDPreserving full assay and publication context enables systematic filtering of flawed or incompatible experimental protocols.
