Abstract
With the exponential increase in publications on DNA markers explaining and/or predicting response to drug therapy, the potential of pharmacogenetic testing of individual patients to optimize drug treatment is expanding. For the identification of pharmacogenetic markers, several techniques can be used. The specific method usually depends on the requirements of the study, ranging from determining one or two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in one to ten patients, one or two SNPs in thousands of patients, several thousands of SNPs in an individual patient, or thousands of SNPs in thousands of patients. In this review we identify and evaluate the information present in the literature on genotyping assays that are currently used for pharmacogenetic analyses, and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these techniques.

"Multidisciplinary Pharmaceutical Drug Design Strategies in the Progress of Drug Discovery"
The process of developing a drug is time and money-consuming, but also fascinating. The development of numerous computational techniques, synthetic methodologies, formulation-based drug discovery, etc., has improved the drug discovery process. The process of developing new drugs is significantly hampered by drug-poor pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetic problems. To address these challenges, ...read more

Advances in the Molecular Pathogenesis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
This thematic issue will emphasize the recent breakthroughs in the mechanisms of Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pathogenesis and devotes some understanding of both Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis. It is expected to include studies about cellular and genetic aspects, which help to precipitate the disease, and the immune system-gut microbiome relations ...read more
Artificial Intelligence and Computational Approaches in Drug Discovery
Computer-aided drug design (CADD) and artificial intelligence (AI) are fundamentally reshaping drug discovery pipelines by significantly enhancing efficiency in molecular screening, rational drug design, and natural product development. In the field of molecular screening, the integration of virtual high-throughput screening with advanced AI models enables rapid analysis of million-compound libraries, ...read more
