CCL: OpenTox Online Tutorial: Predict the toxicity of a molecule using ToxPredict. (Wed, 20 April, 15:00 CEST)

Dear All:

OpenTox recently announced a series of online seminars and interactive tutorials on topics related to predictive toxicology using a virtual conferencing system supporting desktop sharing and voice. The tutorials are part of the EU FP7 project OpenTox (www.opentox.org), which aims at developing an interoperable open source predictive toxicology framework which may be used as an enabling platform for the creation of predictive toxicology applications.

The next tutorial will be held Wednesday, 20 April, at 15:00 CEST, and is aiming at end users who want to use the OpenTox application ToxPredict to predict the toxicity of a molecule, or to explore existing data in OpenTox.

The ToxPredict tutorial includes demonstration of the following functionalities:

Defining the structure
- Querying by chemical name or other identifiers
- Structure search - exact, substructure, similarity
- Uploading own set of structures and assigning access rights
- Using previously uploaded sets of structures 

Running predictions 
- Individually for a compound
- Batch mode

Exploring toxicity data
- Existing toxicity data (multiple endpoints) for a given compound.
- Browsing toxicity datasets.
- Reports 

Following the demonstration, every participant may use the system to perform the same activities. 
Exercise outline and example files will be provided. 

Requirements: 
Web browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari) with _javascript_ enabled 
Java enabled (in order to use structure diagram editor)
Preferred, but optional : a user account on opentox.org site 


Participation in these online events involves no registration fee.
