Abstract
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are rapidly changing the approach to complex genomic studies, opening the way to personalized drugs development and personalized medicine. NGS technologies are characterized by a massive throughput for relatively short-sequences (30-100), and they are currently the most reliable and accurate method for grouping individuals on the basis of their genetic profiles. The first and crucial step in sequence analysis is the conversion of millions of short sequences (reads) into valuable genetic information by their mapping to a known (reference) genome. New computational methods, specifically designed for the type and the amount of data generated by NGS technologies, are replacing earlier widespread genome alignment algorithms which are unable to cope with such massive amount of data.
This review provides an overview of the bioinformatics techniques that have been developed for the mapping of NGS data onto a reference genome, with a special focus on polymorphism rate and sequence error detection. The different techniques have been experimented on an appropriately defined dataset, to investigate their relative computational costs and usability, as seen from an user perspective.
Since NGS platforms interrogate the genome using either the conventional nucleotide space or the more recent color space, this review does consider techniques both in nucleotide and color space, emphasizing similarities and diversities.

AlphaFold in Medicinal Chemistry: Opportunities and Challenges
AlphaFold, a groundbreaking AI tool for protein structure prediction, is revolutionizing drug discovery. Its near-atomic accuracy unlocks new avenues for designing targeted drugs and performing efficient virtual screening. However, AlphaFold's static predictions lack the dynamic nature of proteins, crucial for understanding drug action. This is especially true for multi-domain proteins, ...read more
Artificial intelligence for Natural Products Discovery and Development
Our approach involves using computational methods to predict the potential therapeutic benefits of natural products by considering factors such as drug structure, targets, and interactions. We also employ multitarget analysis to understand the role of drug targets in disease pathways. We advocate for the use of artificial intelligence in predicting ...read more
Chemistry Based on Natural Products for Therapeutic Purposes
The development of new pharmaceuticals for a wide range of medical conditions has long relied on the identification of promising natural products (NPs). There are over sixty percent of cancer, infectious illness, and CNS disease medications that include an NP pharmacophore, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Since NP ...read more
Current Trends in Drug Discovery Based on Artificial Intelligence and Computer-Aided Drug Design
Drug development discovery has faced several challenges over the years. In fact, the evolution of classical approaches to modern methods using computational methods, or Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD), has shown promising and essential results in any drug discovery campaign. Among these methods, molecular docking is one of the most notable ...read more
