RNA-Seq in Drug Discovery and Development e-bog

The research and development process in modern drug discovery and developmentis a complex and challenging task. Using traditional biological test methodssuch as PCR to measure the expression levels or function of these genes is costlyand time-consuming. RNA-seq can measure the expression patterns of thousandsof genes simultaneously and provide insights into functional pathways or regulationsin biological processes, which has revolutionized the way biological scientistsexamine gene functions. This book addresses the various aspects of theRNA-seq technique, especially its application in drug discovery and development.Features One of the few books that focuses on the applications of the RNA-seqtechnique in drug discovery and development Comprehensive and timely publication which relates RNA sequencing todrug targets, mechanisms of action, and resistance The editor has extensive experience in the field of computational medicinalchemistry, computational biophysics, and bioinformatics Chapter authors are at the frontline of the academic and industrial sciencein this particular area of RNA sequencing
