Biomarker genes can help predict whether a candidate drug will adversely affect a given individual, but they are often difficult to discover. In addition, the mechanism of toxicity of many drugs and common compounds is not yet well understood. The Japanese Toxicogenomics Project provides a large database of systematically collected microarray samples from rats (liver, kidney and primary hepatocytes) and human cells (primary hepatocytes) after exposure to 170 different compounds in different dosages and at different time intervals. However, until now, no intuitive user interface has been publically available, making it time consuming and difficult for individual researchers to explore the data.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results: We present Toxygates, a user-friendly integrated analysis platform for this database. Toxygates combines a large microarray dataset with the ability to fetch semantic linked data, such as pathways, compound\u2013protein interactions and orthologs, on demand. It can also perform pattern-based compound ranking with respect to the expression values of a set of relevant candidate genes. By using Toxygates, users can freely interrogate the transcriptome\u2019s response to particular compounds and conditions, which enables deep exploration of toxicity mechanisms.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Availability and implementation: Toxygates is freely available to the public at http:\/\/toxygates.nibio.go.jp.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Contact: johan@nibio.go.jp, kenji@nibio.go.jp or y-igarashi@nibio.go.jp<\/jats:p><jats:p>Supplementary information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btt531","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,9,19]],"date-time":"2013-09-19T01:05:55Z","timestamp":1379552755000},"page":"3080-3086","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Toxygates: interactive toxicity analysis on a hybrid microarray and linked data platform"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Johan","family":"Nystr\u00f6m-Persson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 National Institute of Biomedical Innovation, 7-6-8 Saito-Asagi, Ibaraki City, Osaka 567-0085, Japan and 2Centre for Knowledge Structuring, University of Tokyo, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-8656, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoshinobu","family":"Igarashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 National Institute of Biomedical Innovation, 7-6-8 Saito-Asagi, Ibaraki City, Osaka 567-0085, Japan and 2Centre for Knowledge Structuring, University of Tokyo, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-8656, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maori","family":"Ito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 National Institute of Biomedical Innovation, 7-6-8 Saito-Asagi, Ibaraki City, Osaka 567-0085, Japan and 2Centre for Knowledge Structuring, University of Tokyo, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-8656, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mizuki","family":"Morita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 National Institute of Biomedical Innovation, 7-6-8 Saito-Asagi, Ibaraki City, Osaka 567-0085, Japan and 2Centre for Knowledge Structuring, University of Tokyo, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-8656, Japan"},{"name":"1 National Institute of Biomedical Innovation, 7-6-8 Saito-Asagi, Ibaraki City, Osaka 567-0085, Japan and 2Centre for Knowledge Structuring, University of Tokyo, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-8656, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Noriyuki","family":"Nakatsu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 National Institute of Biomedical Innovation, 7-6-8 Saito-Asagi, Ibaraki City, Osaka 567-0085, Japan and 2Centre for Knowledge Structuring, University of Tokyo, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-8656, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Yamada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 National Institute of Biomedical Innovation, 7-6-8 Saito-Asagi, Ibaraki City, Osaka 567-0085, Japan and 2Centre for Knowledge Structuring, University of Tokyo, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-8656, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kenji","family":"Mizuguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 National Institute of Biomedical Innovation, 7-6-8 Saito-Asagi, Ibaraki City, Osaka 567-0085, Japan and 2Centre for Knowledge Structuring, University of Tokyo, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-8656, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,9,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023012810491659900_btt531-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1041","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.bjp.0701917","article-title":"Induction of an ATPase inhibitor protein by propylthiouracil and protection against paracetamol (acetaminophen) hepatotoxicity in the rat","volume":"124","author":"Banerjee","year":"1998","journal-title":"Br.
