Publication: Open PHACTS computational protocols for in silico target validation of cellular phenotypic screens: knowing the knowns
Phenotypic screening is in a renaissance phase and is expected by many academic and industry leaders to accelerate the discovery of new drugs for new biology. Given that phenotypic screening is per definition target agnostic, the emphasis of in silico and in vitro follow-up work is on the exploration of…
Webinar: Open source software components for chemistry standardisation
Antony Williams (EPA, previously RSC and ChemSpider) and Valery Tkachenko (RSC, previously ChemSpider) discuss the need for mechanisms for the standardisation and validation of chemical structure data, and the development and implementation of a system of software components to achieve this within the Open PHACTS Discovery Platform.
