DeepCarc: Deep Learning-Powered Carcinogenicity Prediction Using Model-Level Representation

Carcinogenicity testing plays an essential role in identifying carcinogens in environmental chemistry and drug development. However, it is a time-consuming and label-intensive process to evaluate the carcinogenic potency with conventional 2-years rodent animal studies. Thus, there is an urgent need...
