Arena-Idb integration process: identity by aliases, example 1. The Figure gives an example of integration regarding the addition of a ncRNA and a gene into a partial state of Arena-Idb that contains a ncRNA. The input ncRNA is labelled with a HGNC symbol that equals the identifier assigned to the ncRNA present in the partial state. Instead, there is no identifier that can match the gene symbol. The input information also report a biological production of the ncRNA from the given gene. The gene is added to the partial knowledge, the two ncRNAs are matched, and the biological relation is flushed
