Description
Summary:Amid the establishment and optimization of Connectivity Map (CMAP), the functional relationships among drugs, genes, and diseases are further explored. This biological database has been widely used to identify drugs with common mechanisms, repurpose existing drugs, discover the molecular mechanisms of unknown drugs, and find potential drugs for some diseases. Research on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has entered a new era in the wake of the development of bioinformatics and other subjects including network pharmacology, proteomics, metabolomics, herbgenomics, and so on. TCM gradually conforms to modern science, but there is still a torrent of limitations. In recent years, CMAP has shown its distinct advantages in the study of the components of TCM and the synergetic mechanism of TCM formulas; hence, the combination of them is inevitable.
