Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory’s (MDI) comparative toxicogenomics database (CTD) is a valuable, manually curated resource, which advances understanding the effects of environmental chemicals on human health. Biomax will offer CTD as a free content resource to all users of Biomax’s enterprise platform for semantic data integration, the BioXM system.
The CTD includes cross-species chemical–gene/protein interactions and chemical–and gene–disease relationships to elucidate molecular mechanisms underlying variable susceptibility and environmentally influenced diseases.
These relationships complement the semantic network created by the Biomax Oncology Base, a unique resource of manually validated factors associated with cancer. CTD and the Oncology Base are accessible through the BioXM system for advanced data mining, graphical representation and collaborative research projects.
