New publication: European Chemical Biology Database (ECBD)

Our colleagues at the Institute of Molecular Genetics (IMG) in Prague, CZ, and the EU-OPENSCREEN central office in Berlin, DE, have a new publication out explaining the rationale, design and curation of the European Chemical Biology Database (ECBD), the central open-access repository for all screening data generated within EU-OPENSCREEN ERIC.

The ECBD is designed according to the FAIR data principles (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) and contains both positive and negative activity data from EU-OPENSCREEN compound screening and bioprofiling campaigns. It thus serves as a rich characterization of chemical space and a uniquely valuable resource to the global scientific community.

This publication appears in the 2024 Database issue of Nucleic Acids Research.
