In this episode, Marie Sadler talksabout her recent Cell Genomics paper, Multi-layered genetic approaches toidentify approved drug targets. Previous studies have found that the drugs that target a gene linked to thedisease are more likely to be approved. Yet there are many ways to define whatit means for a gene to be linked to the disease. Perhaps …
