Targets

Targets are specific biological molecules, often proteins, whose activity is believed to be directly involved in a disease process. These targets are identified and studied to understand their role in the disease, making them focal points for the development of drugs designed to modulate their function and achieve therapeutic effects.

📄️ Add target

To register a new target in DAIKON, the Target Promotion Questionnaire must be completed. It is a structured tool to evaluate and document the rationale for advancing a gene (protein) or a set of genes (protein complex) as a potential therapeutic target.

📄️ PARSNIP

PARSNIP (Protein Assessment and Ranking System for Novel Input) is a public-facing companion tool to DAIKON that supports the early stages of target evaluation. It provides a structured, evidence-based framework for scoring and comparing potential drug targets across multiple biological dimensions, and visualizes these comparisons in an interactive interface accessible to the global research community.
