Drug discovery is hard.Amazing to see the databases that are available for public access that enable drug discovery. Broad institute publishes The Connectivity map (CMAP)which is a database of gene signatures of transcriptional response to perturbation of many cell lines. This is incredible amount of data that is available in the public domain to be…
