Sometime back I had described some work on the automated annotation of PubChem bioassays. The lack of annotations on the assays can make it difficult to integrate with other biological resources. Ideally, the bioassays would be manually annotated – however, it’s not a very exciting job. So, collaborating with Patrick Ruch and Julien Gobeill, we […]
Annotating Bioassays
I’ve been working for some time with the PubChem Bioassay collection – a set of 1293 assays that cover a range of techniques (enzymatic, phenotypic etc.), targets and sizes (from 20 molecules to 200,000 molecules). In addition, some assays are primary, high-throughput assays whereas a number of them are smaller, confirmatory assays. While an extremely […]
