This is a webserver for gene set enrichment analysis on a very large gene set -- one constructed by extracting gene sets from PMC OA. The bot does the extraction weekly.
Rather than splitting up the meta and data APIs, all functionality is incorporated into a postgres database.
We use postgraphile to serve the database on a graphql endpoint -- this endpoint can then be used for all necessary functionality, including both metadata search, filtering, and enrichment analysis. For speed purposes, enrichment is done through a companion API written in rust, the database itself communicates with this API, it is transparent to the application or users of the database.
