Genetic variant identification: unveiling the power of STING-seq

Drug Target Review

The workflow, which has been termed STING-seq, integrates biobank-scale GWAS data with CRISPR and single-cell sequencing techniques, allowing for the identification of target genes associated with noncoding variants for blood traits. Dr Sanjana elaborated on the study for Drug Target Review. This is a great question. Yet some people do not.

Archbishop Ussher's guide to efficient selection of development candidates

Molecular Design

Taking into account changes in their physicochemical properties over time, drugs are analyzed according to their target class, therapy area, and route of administration. Using ChEMBL version 26, a data set of 643 drugs acting on 271 targets was assembled, comprising 1104 drug−target pairs having ≥100 published compounds per target.
