How transcriptomics is driving drug discovery

Drug Discovery World

SB: Transcriptomics is the study of genomic RNA transcripts in a biological system. RNA transcript expression levels can provide insight into underlying biology – eg. which genes are upregulated, and which ones are downregulated – which is very useful when studying different disease states. SB: Certainly.

Advances in Genetic Medicine May Be Outpacing Some Clinicians’ Understanding, But Pharmaceutical Marketers Can Do Much to Address the Problem

Pharma Marketing Network

Almost two decades after the human genome was sequenced, a trickle of new genetic medicines (i.e., those that modify the expression of an individual’s genes or repair abnormal genes) has entered clinical practice, including 11 RNA therapeutics, 2 in vivo gene therapies, and 2 gene-modified cell therapies.

How big data analytics can make personalised care a reality

Drug Discovery World

We use MA plots, heatmaps, pathway maps, and trend plots of clusters (clusters for features with correlated response) as shown in Figure 2 but also UpSet plots, advanced Venn diagrams, to summarise overlap in differential features across multiple timepoints and study arms.

Delivering on the promise of gene editing

Drug Discovery World

Inducing double strand breaks at unintended locations in the genome can lead to off-target genetic modifications that are difficult to predict and potentially deleterious. Complicating matters even more, researchers currently lack effective and reliable methods for detecting and measuring off-target genomic events.
