Small molecules have long played important roles in the advancement of biology; however, little meta-insight has been gained during this period. This thesis presents two studies that aim to uncover the relationships between chemical space and biological measurement space.
The first chapter comprises literature surveys of chemical descriptor space, biological measurement space (outputs), and analysis methods to link them. An emphasis on the role of diversity-oriented synthesis populating accessible chemical space (inputs) is offered.
The second chapter describes the methodology that uses well-defined inputs provided by diversity-oriented synthesis and robust readouts from a series of chemical genetic modifier screenings. Subsequent multidimensional data analysis confirms the intuit...
