This repository processes the gene family data from HGNC. In the future, the repository may expand its scope to process other types of HGNC data.

• 1.download.ipynb downloads HGNC data. Check this notebook to see the last modified dates of downloaded files.
• 2.families.ipynb constructs the gene family ontology in networkx. Annotates gene families with their corresponding Entrez Gene IDs. Gene membership in a family is propagated, e.g. genes belonging to the "Glutamate metabotropic receptors" family also belong to the "Glutamate receptors" family.

• download contains unmodified downloads from the EBI FTP site.
• data contains generated datasets. families.graphml contains a GraphML-formatted network of the HGNC gene family ontology. gene-families.tsv contains the mapping between gene families and Entrez genes.
