Background: From a therapeutic viewpoint, understanding how drugs bind and regulate the functions of their target proteins to protect against disease is crucial. The identification of drug targets plays a significant role in drug discovery and studying the mechanisms of diseases. Therefore the development of methods to identify drug targets has become a popular issue. Methods: We systematically review the recent work on identifying drug targets from the view of data and method. We compiled several databases that collect data more comprehensively and introduced several commonly used databases. Then divided the methods into two categories: biological experiments and machine learning, each of which is subdivided into different subclasses and described in detail. Results: Machine learning algorithms are the majority of new methods. Generally, an optimal set of features is chosen to predict successful new drug targets with similar properties. The most widely used features include sequence properties, network topological features, structural properties, and subcellular locations. Since various machine learning methods exist, improving their performance requires combining a better subset of features and choosing the appropriate model for the various datasets involved. Conclusion: The application of experimental and computational methods in protein drug target identification has become increasingly popular in recent years. Current biological and computational methods still have many limitations due to unbalanced and incomplete datasets or imperfect feature selection methods.

SubtypeDrug: a software package for prioritization of candidate cancer subtype-specific drugs

Xudong Han, Qingfei Kong, Chonghui Liu, Liang Cheng, Junwei Han

Summary: SubtypeDrug is a software package based on systems biology that prioritizes subtype-specific drugs based on cancer expression data from samples of multiple subtypes. It uses a novel approach to identify subtype-specific drugs by considering the biological functions regulated by drugs at the subpathway level. Its capabilities include extraction of subpathways from biological pathways, identification of dysregulated subpathways induced by each drug, inference of sample-specific subpathway activity profiles, evaluation of drug-disease reverse association at the subpathway level, identification of cancer-subtype-specific drugs through subtype sample set enrichment analysis, and visualization of the results.

Zijun Zhu, Xinyu Chen, Chao Wang, Sainan Zhang, Rui Yu, Yubin Xie, Shuofeng Yuan, Liang Cheng, Lei Shi, Xue Zhang

Summary: This study conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify host genetic factors associated with COVID-19. The correlation between genetic variations and gene expression was assessed using expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) analysis. The findings revealed 20 genes significantly associated with immunity and neurological disorders. Single-cell datasets were used to validate these findings and to explore the causal relationship between COVID-19 and neurological disorders. Cell experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of COVID-19-related protein-coding genes. This study provides important insights into the genetic architecture underlying the pathophysiology of COVID-19.
