Overview

As a partner with the KMC, NCATS is developing and implementing PHAROS as the User Interface Portal to access all the integrated data, metadata and annotation collected into TCRD and via tools from ISMMS. Queries across all human proteins can be carried out based on Target Development Levels stages of knowledge for protein targets from most known (Tclin) to least known (Tdark), tissue expression, chemical tools, Novelty score, etc.

NIH grant number: 1U24 CA224370-01 and ZIA TR000057
