The Push to Ban Ransom Payments Is Gaining Momentum
Ransomware costs victims an estimated $30 billion per year and has gotten so out of control that global support for banning payments is gaining momentum.
Reference baseline for high-performance cheminformatics fingerprint search benchmarking
Readme
This version of chemfp includes command-lines tools to generate cheminformatics fingerprints and search those fingerprints by Tanimoto similarity, as well as a Python library which you can use to build new tools.
It is the no-cost/open source chemfp release track. It only supports Python 2.7. It is being maintained only to provide a good reference baseline for benchmarking other similarity search tools.
The commercial track, currently chemfp 3.4, includes faster performance, many new features, and support for Python 3.
Chemfp is designed for the dense, 100-10,000 bit fingerprints which occur in small-molecule/pharmaceutical chemisty. The Tanimoto search algorithms are implemented in C and assembly for performance, and support both threshold and k-nearest searches using the BitBound algorithm of Swamidass and Baldi.
Fingerprint generation can be done either by extracting existing fingerprint data from an SD file or by using an existing chemistry toolkit. chemfp supports the Python libraries from Open Babel, OpenEye, and RDKit toolkits. Be aware that those vendors no longer support Python 2.7.
