PubChem added Gene Ontology (GO) in BioAssay summary

The PubChem BioAssay summary pages now display the Gene Ontology (GO) classification of the gene/protein target(s) that were tested by the bioassay. The GO terms are associated with each gene/protein in an automated way as part of the biosystems database data processing procedures, using the method described in the Biosystems help document. All GO terms that apply to the gene(s)/protein(s) tested by the bioassay are shown in the GO hierarchy, including: (1) biological processes, (2) cellular components, and (3) molecular functions. Clicking on any GO term in the hierarchy will retrieve all bioassays that have tested a protein(s) associated with that term. As an example, see the GO terms for the protein target that was tested by the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) redistribution assay (AID 450).In addition, the PubChem BioAssay data summary for a compound now displays a graphical summary of the bioassays that have tested the compound, categorizing the bioassays by: (1) bioactivity outcomes (active, inactive, inconclusive, unspecified); (2) top targets; (3) bioactivity types (IC50, EC50, Potency, Ki, etc.); (4) bioassay types (screening, confirmatory, summary, other). The bar graphs are clickable and serve as filters to display data from the selected category, refreshing both the bar graphs and the tabular summary of bioassays to reflect the data subset you have selected. As an example, see the bioassay data summary for aspirin (CID 2244).
