Abstract
Primitive data organization practices struggle to deliver at the scale and consistency required to meet multidisciplinary collaborations in drug discovery. For effective data sharing and coordination, a unified platform that can collect and analyze scientific information is essential. We present DAIKON, an open-source framework that integrates targets, screens, hits, and manages projects within a target-based drug discovery portfolio. Its knowledge capture components enable teams to record subsequent molecules as their properties improve, facilitate team collaboration through discussion threads, and include modules that visually illustrate the progress of each target as it advances through the pipeline. It serves as a repository for scientists sourcing data from Mycobrowser, UniProt, PDB. The goal is to globalize several variations of the drug-discovery program without compromising local aspects of specific workflows. DAIKON is modularized by abstracting the database and creating separate layers for entities, business logic, infrastructure, APIs, and frontend, with each tier allowing for extensions. Using Docker, the framework is packaged into two solutions: daikon-server-core and daikon-client. Organizations may deploy the project to on-premises servers or VPC. Active-Directory/SSO is supported for user administration. End users can access the application with a web browser. Currently, DAIKON is implemented in the TB Drug Accelerator program (TBDA).
