Predicting AMES activity Jupyter Notebook

 

I've been experimenting with the use of Jupyter Notebooks (aka iPython Notebooks) as an electronic lab notebook but also a means to share computational models. The aim would be to see how easy it would be to share a model together with the associated training data together with an explanation of how the model was built and how it can be used for novel molecules.

The Ames test is a widely employed method that uses bacteria to test whether a given chemical can cause mutations in the DNA of the test organism. More formally, it is a biological assay to assess the mutagenic potential of chemical compounds. PNAS. 70 (8): 2281–5. doi

In this first notebook a random forest model to predict AMES activity is described….
