Historical analysis shows changes in compounds, assays, and activities in ChEMBL data, indicating its growth over time.
I've recently submitted an article to the Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS) describing chembl-downloader, a Python package for automating downloading and using ChEMBL data in a reproducible way. In this post, I use chembl-downloader to show how the number of compounds, assays, activities, and other entities in ChEMBL have changed over time.
