Exploring the SARS-CoV-2 virus-host-drug interactome for drug repurposing

Understand

Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

• It was first identified in Wuhan, China, and has since spread causing a global pandemic.
• Various studies have been performed to understand the molecular mechanisms of viral infection for predicting drug repurposing candidates.
• However, such information is spread across many publications and it is very time-consuming to access, integrate, explore, and exploit.
