title: The NCI Drug Information System. 1. System overview.
abstract: An interactive computer system has been designed to handle all the data associated with the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) drug screening program. The system resides on the NIH DEC System 10 computers and allows interactive access to the entire NCI screening data system. This contains over 20 separate databases, including a chemistry file of about 400,000 structures and a biology file of approximately 1.5 million test records. New compounds and test data are added daily to the files, and the system also controls and records all the daily operations of the screening program, such as acquisition, shipping, and biological testing of chemicals.
