Fixing failed drugs: AI solutions for toxicity in drug discovery – part 2

Drug Target Review

” Hosseini-Gerami notes that modern multiomics approaches provide the following crucial context: RNA sequencing: “We can measure with RNA sequencing the genes that have gone up or down in expression because of that compound interaction.” How can we understand what the consequences of that are?”

What Makes a Mature Science

Codon

There are only 5 nucleotide bases behind all life: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T) in DNA, and uracil (U) taking the place of thymine in RNA. We’ve known about base pairs, RNA, and DNA for decades, but we couldn't make full use of them because our tools were so poor. The same is true of biology.
