The measured biology of the plants we carry

The source databases are the field’s own — but assembling measured binding, structure, expression, and the recorded herbal tradition into one cited, live-computed graph, and publishing it for a whole apothecary catalog, is something no consumer botanical brand we know of ships. That graph is the institute. Structure and function only; not a claim to treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

The convergence standard · our defining evidence

Where the molecule and the tradition independently agree

This is the hardest thing in the institute to replicate, and the thing we are proudest of. It takes two independent evidence systems — a measured molecular graph and a structured corpus of recorded herbal tradition — and finds where they meet on their own. When a plant’s compounds are measured to engage the genes of an organ, and the recorded lineage already named that plant for that same organ, the two agree without being made to. We know of no other botanical brand that holds both halves, so no other can show this. 93such convergences stand in the genome today — every one backed by an actual measured binding affinity, not annotation alone. Two sources, arrived at separately, is our highest standard of evidence.

● marks a convergence backed by a measured binding affinity (BindingDB), not annotation alone. Convergence describes where independent lines of evidence meet on a body system. It is structure and function only, not a claim to treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
