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.
