Chem-PerturBridge: a harmonized compendium of small molecule perturbation transcriptomic effects

arXiv:2605.31522v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large perturbation models require training data encompassing chemical, cellular, and assay diversity. Current transcriptomic resources for small-molecule modeling, however, are fragmented across technologies, metadata conventions, controls, doses, and preprocessing pipelines. We introduce Chem-PerturBridge, a harmonized multi-dataset resource comprising over 37k compounds, 136 cellular contexts, and 1.25M transcriptomic samples across eight assay types, with standardized identifiers, metadata, and replicate-aware condition-level effects. We use t
