The Open Targets Blog

JANUARY 30, 2025

This blog post is part of a series that will explore applications and expansions of the Open Targets informatics ecosystem, particularly the Open Targets Platform and Open Targets Genetics through conversations with our users. The gget opentargets module has many applications. Where do you think the limits of this application are?

Our overall mission at Arrakis is to expand the set of “druggable” targets for small-molecule medicines to include RNA. Today, we are pleased to announce that our article describing one such platform: “ PEARL-seq, A Photoaffinity Platform for the Analysis of Small Molecule-RNA Interactions ” was published in ACS Chemical Biology.

  With a background in biochemistry and bioinformatics, Lucy was interested in exploring how bioinformatics was applied to real-world healthcare data. I just graduated with a degree in Bioinformatics, and I was interested to see how the skills I learned could be applied.

2 DNA sequencing is also reliant on sample processing and DNA library preparation before sequencing as well as bioinformatics and data analysis after sequencing. In contrast, long-read sequencing analyzes longer strands of DNA or RNA in one go without breaking the long strands into smaller fragments.

Made from a Cas9 nickase (the histidine at amino acid position 840 is swapped for an alanine) fused to a reverse transcriptase enzyme (which makes DNA from RNA; transcription in reverse), prime editing clinical trials are expected to begin by 2025. link ) INSPECTR is a diagnostic tool to detect tiny amounts of viral RNA at room temperature.
