ChemHub: a knowledgebase of functional chemicals for synthetic biology studies
Journal article, 2021

The field of synthetic biology lacks a comprehensive knowledgebase for selecting synthetic target molecules according to their functions, economic applications and known biosynthetic pathways. We implemented ChemHub, a knowledgebase containing >90 000 chemicals and their functions, along with related biosynthesis information for these chemicals that was manually extracted from >600 000 published studies by more than 100 people over the past 10 years.
