Abstract:
Nowadays, information technology (IT) has been holding a significant role in daily life worldwide. The trajectory of data science and bioinformatics promises pioneering personalized therapies, reshaping medical landscapes and patient care. For RNA therapy to reach more patients, a comprehensive understanding of the application of data science and bioinformatics to this therapy is essential. Thus, this chapter has summarized the application of data science and bioinformatics in RNA therapeutics. Data science applications in RNA therapy, such as data integration and analytics, machine learning, and drug development, have been discussed. In addition, aspects of bioinformatics such as RNA design and evaluation, drug delivery system simulation, and databases for personalized medicine have also been covered in this chapter. These insights have shed light on existing evidence and opened potential future directions. From there, scientists can elevate RNA-based therapeutics into an era of tailored treatments and revolutionary healthcare.
