Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we constructed an in silico analytical method that utilizes large scale human disease genome analysis results to efficiently identify novel therapeutic targets and candidates of drug repositioning. We collected drug and drug target gene information from multiple drug discovery databases. We also curated Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) Classification System to list disease and approved drug lists. By applying the newly constructed method to the latest disease genetics study results of multiple human diseases including metabolic diseases, we empirically evaluated the value of our method.
