Mapping Compound Databases to Disease Maps—A MINERVA Plugin for CandActBase

The MINERVA platform is currently the most widely used platform for visualizing and providing access to disease maps. Disease maps are systems biological maps of molecular interactions relevant in a certain disease context, where they can be used to support drug discovery. For this purpose, we exten...
