The process of drug discovery and development is both lengthy intricate, demanding a substantial investment time financial resources. Bioinformatics techniques tools can not only accelerate the identification targets screening refinement candidates, but also facilitate characterization side effects prediction resistance. High-throughput data from genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics make significant contributions to mechanics-based reuse. This paper summarizes bioinformatics technologies in research their roles applications development, aiming provide references for new drugs realization precision medicine.
