Enum: DruggableGeneCategoryEnum

An enumeration of druggability categories for gene targets as defined by the IDG (Illuminating the Druggable Genome) / Pharos target development level classification: Tclin (targets of approved drugs), Tchem (targets with potent bioactives), Tbio (targets with biological knowledge), and Tdark (poorly characterized targets).

Permissible Values

Value Meaning Description
tclin None These targets have activities in DrugCentral (ie. approved drugs) with known mechanism of action.
tbio None These targets have activities in ChEMBL, Guide to Pharmacology or DrugCentral that satisfy the activity thresholds detailed below.
tchem None These targets do not have known drug or small molecule activities that satisfy the activity thresholds detailed below AND satisfy one or more of the following criteria: target is above the cutoff criteria for the target is annotated with a Gene Ontology Molecular Function or Biological Process leaf term(s) with an Experimental Evidence code
tdark None These are targets about which virtually nothing is known. They do not have known drug or small molecule activities that satisfy the activity thresholds detailed below AND satisfy two or more of the following criteria: A PubMed text-mining score from Jensen Lab less than 5, greater than or equal TO 3 Gene RIFs, or less than or equal to 50 Antibodies available according to http://antibodypedia.com.
