Drug Discovery: Overview

10.8K
Drug discovery is a multifaceted process involving extensive screening, testing, and optimization of lead compounds to identify potential new drugs for therapeutic use. It combines several approaches, including screening large numbers of natural products, chemical modification of known active molecules, identification of new drug targets, and rational design based on biological mechanisms and drug-receptor structure. These approaches are carried out in both academic research laboratories and...

Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

4.0K
Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.
The technique...

Protein Networks02:26

Protein Networks

4.4K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Genomics02:02

Genomics

39.4K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

Protein-protein Interfaces02:04

Protein-protein Interfaces

14.4K
Many proteins form complexes to carry out their functions, making protein-protein interactions (PPIs) essential for an organism's survival. Most PPIs are stabilized by numerous weak noncovalent chemical forces. The physical shape of the interfaces determines the way two proteins interact. Many globular proteins have closely-matching shapes on their surfaces, which form a large number of weak bonds. Additionally, many PPIs occur between two helices or between a surface cleft and a...

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Data Science

Background:

  • Omics datasets are crucial for biological research but are often fragmented across various databases.
  • Discovering and integrating these datasets pose significant challenges for researchers.
  • A centralized, accessible platform is needed to streamline omics data exploration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the Omics Discovery Index (OmicsDI) as a comprehensive platform for omics data.
  • To present the OmicsDI REST interface for programmatic data access.
  • To facilitate the development of tools for interacting with omics datasets.

Main Methods:

  • OmicsDI integrates diverse omics data types: proteomics, genomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, and models.
  • An efficient indexing system links biological entities (genes, proteins, metabolites) to publications.
  • Pipelines assess dataset impact through citation counts, reanalysis, and reported entities.

Main Results:

  • The OmicsDI REST interface (www.omicsdi.org/ws/) allows programmatic access to all omics datasets.
  • Queries can be performed using metadata such as species, tissues, instrumentation, and keywords.
