This DTox Training Video (mp4) is intended to facilitate the use of the interactive DTox tool. It provides a brief overview of DTox, including examples on how to use the navigation tabs, and query, print and export toxicity data. Please note that this video was recorded using an earlier version of this interactive tool, but all attributes are identical those of the final version of DTox.
