[CTD-Users] Comparative Toxicogenomics Database - November data update

[Carolyn Mattingly]

Dear CTD user,
The November update of the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD)  
is complete - you can browse our new data at http://ctd.mdibl.org.

Since last month, we added 3,988 curated interactions involving 230  
chemicals and 1,747 genes/proteins as well as 109 direct gene-disease  
relationships and 59 direct chemical-disease relationships (complete  
data statistics: http://ctd.mdibl.org/about/dataStatus.go).

Curated data were significantly increased for:
Chemicals:
Sodium selenite - http://ctd.mdibl.org/detail.go?type=chem&acc=D018038
Methylselenic acid - http://ctd.mdibl.org/detail.go?type=chem&acc=C008493
Ozone - http://ctd.mdibl.org/detail.go?type=chem&acc=D010126

Genes/Proteins:
NOS2 - http://ctd.mdibl.org/detail.go?type=gene&db=GENE&acc=4843
TNF - http://ctd.mdibl.org/detail.go?type=gene&db=GENE&acc=7124
CCL2 - http://ctd.mdibl.org/detail.go?type=gene&db=GENE&acc=6347

Diseases:
Adenocarcinoma - http://ctd.mdibl.org/detail.go?type=disease&db=MESH&acc=D000230
Stomach neoplasms - http://ctd.mdibl.org/detail.go?type=disease&db=MESH&acc=D013274
Prostatic neoplasms - http://ctd.mdibl.org/detail.go?type=disease&db=MESH&acc=D011471

We're also pleased to announce a new publication describing a text- 
mining approach we're developing to enhance our manual curation:   
Wiegers TC, Davis AP, Cohen KB, Hirschman L, Mattingly CJ. BMC  
Bioinformatics. 2009 Oct 8;10:326. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19814812

Please send us your feedback  and let us know how you are using CTD in  
your research or educational programs so we can ensure that it remains  
a valuable community resource.
Thanks for using CTD.

The CTD Team.
