FAIRsharing record for: The Blood Exposome Database

This FAIRsharing record describes: The exposome represents the sum of all exposures during the life-span of an organism (from chemicals to microbes, viruses, radiation and other sources). Exposome chemicals are a major component of the exposome and are known to alter activities of cellular pathways and structures. In humans, exposome chemicals are transported throughout the body, linking chemical exposures to phenotypes such as such as cancer, ageing or diabetes. The Blood Exposome DB is a collection of chemical compounds and associated information that were automatically extracted by text mining the content of PubMed and PubChem databases. The database also unifies chemical lists from metabolomics, systems biology, environmental epidemiology, occupational expossure, toxiology and nutrition fields.
