Abstract

MOTIVATION: In silico drug-target interaction (DTI) prediction is important for drug discovery and drug repurposing. Approaches to predict DTIs can proceed indirectly, top-down, using phenotypic effects of drugs to identify potential drug targets, or they can be direct, bottom-up and use molecular information to directly predict binding affinities. Both approaches can be combined with information about interaction networks.
