Open Targets Platform: Integrating human data for drug discovery
Trainers: Annalisa Buniello, Helena Cornu
Overview: This session was part of the 2023 iteration of the ‘Introduction to RNA-Seq and functional interpretation’ course. It provides an overview of the Open Targets Platform, a freely available resource that supports systematic identification and prioritisation of potential therapeutic drug targets. By integrating publicly available datasets along with data generated by the Open Targets consortium, the Platform builds and scores target-disease associations. Users can also explore relevant annotation information about targets, diseases, phenotypes, and drugs, as well as their most relevant relationships.
