biodbChebi

biodbChebi provides programmatic access to the ChEBI Database through the biodb package framework for retrieving chemical entries and searching by molecular properties.

Key Features:

• Accession-based retrieval: Retrieves database entries using their ChEBI accession numbers.
• Web service search: Searches the ChEBI Database by name, mass, and other fields through web services.

Scientific Applications:

• Chemical entity lookup: Enables retrieval of standardized chemical information from ChEBI for downstream bioinformatics analyses.
• Compound identification: Supports searching for chemical compounds by molecular mass and nomenclature in metabolomics and cheminformatics workflows.

Methodology:

Connects to the ChEBI Database through the biodb package framework; retrieves entries by accession number and accesses web services for field-based searches.
