Welcome to TDR Targets’s documentation!¶
TDR Targets is a bioinformatics resource focused on helping drug discovery efforts for neglected tropical diseases.
Depending on your perspective it can be viewed as a database that can be browsed, or as a web application that can be leveraged as a tool.
The documentation for TDR Targets provides a detailed description of the various datasets that have been integrated, its functionality, as well as some examples that showcase the utility of this resource.
Introduction¶
The large and growing need for antiparasitic drugs (attributable to poor efficacy, high toxicity, and/or emergence of drug resistance), coupled with increasing interest in this area from both academic and pharmaceutical sector research programs, has motivated the development of a “Drug Target Portfolio” database that is accessible via the web at https://tdrtargets.org.
This database facilitates two different approaches for identification of drug targets and potential lead compounds against pathogens.
Warning
TDR Targets recently moved to a new version release that introduced a lot of functionality changes. Make sure you read full list of changes at https://tdrtargets.org/releases.
