Illuminating the Druggable Genome (IDG)¶
IDG Overview¶
The NIH funded the Illuminating the Druggable Genome (IDG) program to improve our understanding of the properties and functions of proteins that are currently under-annotated within the three most commonly drug-targeted protein families: G-protein coupled receptors, ion channels, and protein kinases. Since 2014, the IDG Knowledge Management Center (IDG-KMC) has generated several open-access datasets and resources that jointly serve as a highly translational machine-learning-ready knowledgebases focused on human protein-coding genes and their products. The goal of the IDG-KMC is to develop comprehensive integrated knowledge for the druggable genome to illuminate the uncharacterized or poorly annotated portion of the druggable genome. The tools derived from the IDG-KMC provide either user-friendly visualizations or ways to impute knowledge about potential targets using machine learning strategies.
For step-by-step descriptions on how to use each web-based tool to accelerate illumination in under-studied proteins check out our Current Protocols doi: 10.1002/cpz1.355.

IDG sent me some info about workshops they’ve done that they have recordings for. It’s in the announcements, but they would also like them added to the training website. So adding an IDG tab to this page: https://training.nih-cfde.org/en/latest/Common-Fund-Tools/
I think this would just be links to those trainings rather than formatting them to look like our trainings. Could one of you work with Jessica to get them added? Details below
