MOTIVATION: In silico drug target prediction provides valuable information for drug repurposing, understanding of side effects as well as expansion of the druggable genome. In particular, discovery of actionable drug targets is critical to developing...
MOTIVATION: Traditional drug discovery and development are often time-consuming and high risk. Repurposing/repositioning of approved drugs offers a relatively low-cost and high-efficiency approach toward rapid development of efficacious treatments. T...

The methodologies of computational drug discovery and drug repositioning (DR) based on biomolecular profile information are reviewed systematically. For big data drug discovery and DR, 1) methods of comparing gene expression profiles of the diseased ...
Recent advances in biomedical research have generated a large volume of drug-related data. To effectively handle this flood of data, many initiatives have been taken to help researchers make good use of them. As the results of these initiatives, many...
