In Silico Technologies in Drug Target Identification and Validation addresses the challenge of testing a growing number of new potential targets and reviews currently available in silico approaches for identifying and validating these targets.
Features:

• Presents the most recent trends based on significant advances made in genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics since the 1970s
• Examines genomic correlations between different organisms and various models that simulate disease progression in humans
• Details the components of BioIT hardware configuration and architecture requirements, a key tool for supporting in silico research
• Reviews the numerous tools, initiatives, projects, and standards for ontologies and how they can be used in the drug discovery process

Provides examples and tables to illustrate the use of a particular technology as well as recommended books, journal articles, and Web sites for further information.
