Trends Biomedical In silico

“Omics” a variety of new technologies help explain both normal and abnormal cell pathways, networks, and processes simultaneous monitoring of thousands of molecular components. genomics (the quantitative study of protein-coding genes, regulatory elements and noncoding sequences), transcriptomics (the quantitative study of RNA and gene expression) proteomics (the quantitative study of protein abundance and protein modifications) metabolomics (the quantitative study of metabolites and metabolic networks) pharmacogenomics (the quantitative study of how genetics affects a host’s response to drugs) physiomics (the quantitative study of physiological dynamics and the functions of whole organisms), nutrigenomics (a rapidly growing discipline that focuses on identifying the genetic factors that influence the body’s response to diet and how the bioactive constituents of food affect gene expression) phylogenomics (the analysis of genome data and evolutionary reconstructions, especially phylogenetics) interactomics (the study of molecular interaction networks).

Integrated personalized Omics profiling (A) Participant tissue sample (e.g. blood cell) is collected, while environment (incl. diet, exercise, etc.), medical history and clinical data are recorded. T1 is the first time point. (B) Selected omic analysis involved in a sample iPOP study. (C) Sample Circos plot of DNA (outer ring), RNA (middle ring) and protein (inner ring) data matching to chromosomes. (D) iPOP performed and integrated at multiple time points: T2, T3, T4 (viral-infected), T5 up to Tn states, including disease- state(s). Grey and green forms represent relative-healthy individual and a disease-state, respectively. (E) Report data back to genetic counsellor and medical practitioner with better informed choices for prevention and/or treatment (matched with pharmacogenetic data), if needed.

Biological networks represent various types of molecular interactions (1)enzyme catalysis, (2)the post-transcriptional control of gene expression by proteins, (3)the effect of metabolites on gene transcription mediated by a protein, (4)protein interactions, (5)the effect of a downstream metabolite on transcription, (6)feedback inhibition/activation of an enzyme by a downstream metabolite, and (7)the exchange of a metabolite outside of the system. The solid lines represent direct interactions, and the discontinuous lines represent possible interactions in tumor cells. Int. J. Mol.

Gene-expression-based drug repositioning Signature reversion (a) the aim is to identify a drug where the effect on transcription is opposite to a disease signature. Association (b) drugs giving similar gene expression signatures are found and thought to share a common mode of action. Many public databases can be queried to generate drug and disease signatures that can be compared to each other and integrated with newly generated experimental data (c).
