Abstract
In the current research environment,
data is certainly not in short supply. Every organization has an abundance of
chemical structure, screening and property data. Putting data of these types of
together in a coherent way so researchers can make the best-informed decisions
about which compounds to pursue is more of a challenge. To this end, NetGenics
has developed DiscoveryCenterTM, a software environment that provides an
integrated view of chemical and biological information held in both internal and
external repositories. DiscoveryCenter allows researchers to search on and view
chemical structures in the context of screening data, biological sequences,
analytical testing data, etc. What's more, its flexible architecture allows us
to plug in the user's choice of data sources, including molecular property
calculators. The right information in the right context gives researchers just
what they need.
