> In Ersilia, to establish the relationships that sustain the city’s life, the inhabitants stretch strings from the corners of the houses, white or black or gray or black-and-white according to whether they mark a relationship of blood, of trade, authority, agency. When the strings become so numerous that you can no longer pass among them, the inhabitants leave: the houses are dismantled; only the strings and their supports remain.—*Invisible Cities*, Italo Calvino.

The Chemical Checker (CC) is a data-driven resource of small molecule bioactivity data. The main goal of the CC is to express data in a format that can be used off-the-shelf in daily computational drug discovery tasks. The resource is organized in **5 levels** of increasing complexity, ranging from the chemical properties of the compounds to their clinical outcomes. In between, we consider targets, off-targets, perturbed biological networks and several cell-based assays, including gene expression, growth inhibition, and morphological profiles.

The CC resource is ever-growing and maintained by the [Structural Bioinformatics & Network Biology Laboratory](http://sbnb.irbbarcelona.org) at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine ([IRB Barcelona](http://irbbarcelona.org)).
