Abstract

MOTIVATION: Molecular carcinogenicity is a preventable cause of cancer, but systematically identifying carcinogenic compounds, which involves performing experiments on animal models, is expensive, time consuming and low throughput. As a result, carcinogenicity information is limited and building data-driven models with good prediction accuracy remains a major challenge.
