About the resource

The Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) at North Carolina State University manually curates interactions between chemicals, genes and proteins, and inferred relationships to diseases and phenotypes, from the published literature. Its core data model covers chemical–gene, chemical–disease and gene–disease interactions with direction and tissue context, plus a chemical–phenotype dataset built on the MEDIC ontology.

CTD is the leading public resource for toxicogenomics and environmental-health research and is widely used for chemical–disease hypothesis generation and chemical-exposure annotation. Monthly releases; CC-BY-NC-SA.
