Summary Developed an innovative and automated tool to integrate and visualize chemical and biological data for drug discovery. PyMine integrates data from six high-quality chemical and biological databases and maps imported structural information onto receptor 3D structure. PyMine imports and/or generates files that can be used directly for drug discovery projects. https://github.com/rrchaudhari/PyMine
17
Future Development To include support for additional chemical/biological databases. To apply inductive logic programming in order to generate and prioritize data driven hypotheses. To automate cheminformatics workflows based on imported structural data to test generated hypothesis.
