Table 2 Protein target descriptors exhibiting a significant difference in distribution between binarized toxic set versus nontoxic set

From: Leveraging heterogeneous data from GHS toxicity annotations, molecular and protein target descriptors and Tox21 assay readouts to predict and rationalise acute toxicity

  1. Enrichment effect size was quantified via Cohen’s d, and the top 5 targets with the largest effect size indicating more association with the toxic set are shown. Only enrichments with a p value below the Bonferroni-corrected threshold equivalent to α = 0.05 were considered. The full table is given in Additional file 11: Table S3. The relevance of these targets to toxicity is explored in the text
