The NMPDR will be using a new approach for the drug target project beginning in version 17.
Instead of working tables, the drug target data will be divided into three categories: Drug, Vaccine, and Toxin. The data will be curated manually before it is presented to the NMPDR to insure that the PDB associated with a PEG is a qualified match.
Version 17 will start loading Friday evening the 17th. At that time, three flat files (one per category) need to be available at /disks/nmpdr/v16/FIGdisk/FIG/var/DrugTargets so they can participate in the load.
A new script has been written on the bioseed server that allows users to focus on data for a particular organism or a particular category. This script will be adapted for NMPDR and then linked into the drug target pages. The new script will go live on December 1.
