BioSample

The BioSample database contains descriptions of biological source materials used in experimental assays.

PubChem Databases

The PubChem BioAssay Database contains bioactivity screens of chemical substances described in PubChem Substance. It provides searchable descriptions of each bioassay, including descriptions of the conditions and readouts specific to that screening procedure. Wang et al provide an overview  of the database in this article published in Nucleic Acids Research.

The PubChem Compound Database contains validated chemical depiction information provided to describe substances in PubChem Substance. Structures stored within PubChem Compounds are pre-clustered and cross-referenced by identigy and similiarity groups.

The PubChem Substance Database contains descriptions of samples, from a variety of sources, and links to biological screening results that are available in PubChem BioAssay. If the chemical contents of the sample are known, the descriptions includes links to PubChem Compound
