The impact of genomics on discovering drugs against infectious diseases.

Abstract:

:Genomics is accelerating the progress in data generation and interpretation in the global analyses of components of cells, including the spectrum of lipids, RNA, metabolites, proteins, mutational phenotypes or DNA methylation sites. Integration of the knowledge generated by these diverse strategies is predicted to have a tremendous impact on approaches to rational drug discovery against infectious diseases.
