Purpose
GDAP addresses the critical challenge of identifying novel gene-disease associations in biomedical research.
Problem Statement
Traditional experimental methods for discovering gene-disease relationships are:
- Time-consuming: Years of laboratory work
- Expensive: High costs for experimental validation
- Limited scope: Can only test a small number of hypotheses
Solution
GDAP provides a computational approach that:
- Accelerates discovery: Predicts associations in minutes
- Reduces costs: Prioritizes experimental targets
- Scales efficiently: Analyzes thousands of potential associations
Applications
Drug Discovery
- Identify novel therapeutic targets
- Prioritize drug development candidates
- Understand drug mechanism of action
Disease Research
- Elucidate disease mechanisms
- Discover genetic risk factors
- Understand disease progression
Personalized Medicine
- Identify patient-specific genetic factors
- Guide treatment selection
- Predict treatment response
Impact
GDAP enables researchers to:
- Generate hypotheses about gene-disease relationships
- Prioritize experiments based on prediction confidence
- Validate predictions through targeted experiments
- Accelerate research in precision medicine
