The Computational Methods in Drug Targets Discovery.

Abstract

With the development of high-throughput sequencing techniques, more and more sequencing data is available, including genomics reads, transcriptomes data, and proteomics sequences, which provide us an opportunity for disease treatment and prevention that takes into account individual variability in environment, lifestyle and genes for each person. Thus, it is critical to develop various methods in the identification of drug targets. Application of computational methods in drugs targets discovery is more and more popular because these techniques can extract the essential characteristics of research object and improve accuracies of models, which is needed by all biological scholars. This special issue focused on various aspects of the development and application of computational techniques in drug targets recognition analysis.
