CTD's new exposure curation content. (A) CTD's new ‘Exposure Studies’ query page (http://ctdbase.org/query.go?type=expStudies) allows users to retrieve study information using a variety of search parameters, including exposure chemical stressor (e.g. air pollutants, blue circle), receptor description (e.g. study subjects) and countries (e.g. the USA) as the study location (blue arrows). (B) The results display curated exposure studies meeting the query parameters (highlighted in yellow) with integrated links to any mentioned genes, chemicals, diseases, phenotypes (GO-BP terms) and source references (blue dotted boxes with orange callout labels). The ‘Author's Summary’ column provides the take-home point of each study, and the ‘Details’ link in the ‘Measurements’ column takes the user to the specific assay measurements. As well, all exposure content is reciprocally displayed on the aforementioned pages (i.e. gene, chemical, disease, phenotype and source references), making the information seamlessly integrated into the broader biological context of the CTD framework. (C) Data status for CTD exposure module as of July 2016 includes over 70 600 manually curated statements from more than 1250 references (updated monthly at: http://ctdbase.org/about/dataStatus.go).
