EdelweissData serving ToxCast, ToxRefDB and TG-GATEs data

Collection of toxicological data sources exposed via OpenTox
Three of the most popular toxicologic open data sources are already publically available: the EPA's in vitro ToxCast/Tox21 database, the EPA's in vivo ToxRefDB database and the NIBIOHN's toxicogenomics Open TG-Gates database. We have made the data accessible online via the internet in real time as a REST style API. Such APIs can easily be consumed by a wide range of workflow tools (e.g. KNIME, Garuda) and programming languages (e.g. R, Python or Javascript).

Tutorial
Workflow: Access TG-GATEs data for selected compounds, select differentially expressed genes and identifier relevant pathways

→ Workflow
Abstract:
Example workflow based on OpenRiskNet tools - Pathway identification workflow related to DataCure and AOPlink case studies. This notebook downloads TG-Gates data of 4 compounds and selects genes overexpressed in all sample. The Affymetrix probe sets are then translated into Ensembl gene identifiers using the BridgeDB service and pathways associated with the genes are identified using the WikiPathways service.
