Discovery of novel targets for important human and plant fungal pathogens via an automated computational pipeline HitList

mycolabadmin

Researchers created a computer program called HitList that searches fungal DNA to find new targets for antifungal medications. The program identified 16 promising protein targets that could be attacked by new antifungal drugs, including 8 completely new targets never before considered. This discovery could help develop new antifungal treatments to fight drug-resistant fungal infections in both humans and crops.

Scientists developed a computer program called HitList that searches through fungal genes to find new targets for antifungal medicines. The program identifies proteins that are unique to harmful fungi and missing from humans and plants, making them ideal drug targets. The study found several promising new protein targets that could lead to development of more effective antifungal drugs to treat both human fungal infections and crop diseases caused by fungi.
