Ribosome Profiling

Ribosome Profiling

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...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Estimating gene-target-disease associations for drug discovery is improved by the Transcriptome-driven Efficacy estimates for gene-based TArget discovery (ThETA) R package. ThETA enhances accuracy by integrating tissue-specific gene expression and network data for robust target identification.

Background:

Estimating gene-target-disease associations is crucial for drug discovery.
Current methods using RNA expression or gene co-expression networks have limitations, including false positives and lack of tissue specificity.

Purpose of the Study:

Introduce Transcriptome-driven Efficacy estimates for gene-based TArget discovery (ThETA), an R package for improved drug-target discovery.
Provide non-expert users with novel efficacy scoring methods for identifying gene-disease associations.

Main Methods:

Developed the ThETA R package incorporating novel efficacy scoring methods.
Enabled searching for gene perturbations that reverse disease-gene expression.
Integrated tissue-specific gene co-expression networks.
Implemented functions for combining efficacy scores and building an overall score.
Included visualizations for tissue-specific gene interconnections and biological annotations.

Main Results:

ThETA facilitates the identification of gene perturbations reversing disease-gene expression.
The package identifies genes closely related to disease genes within tissue-specific networks.
ThETA integrates various efficacy evaluations to prioritize gene-disease associations.
Visualizations highlight tissue-specific relationships and biological relevance of top genes.

Conclusions:

ThETA offers a robust framework for estimating gene-target-disease associations.
The package enhances drug discovery by improving the accuracy and tissue specificity of target identification.
ThETA empowers users with advanced tools for prioritizing therapeutic targets.
