FAQ

Q. What is drug repositioning?
A. The usage of a known drug for a different therapeutic indication. If you are not familiar with this at all, try Wikipedia
Q. What is schistosomiasis?
A. A very nasty parasitic disease affecting over 200 million people. Learn more about schistosomiasis on the World Health Organization website
Q. How does the tool work?
A. By mapping! known drugs -> their targets -> their domain architecture -> parasite targets
Q. I am reading this README on my local machine, why is the formatting all weird?
A. This README is formatted in GitHub markdown, please open it on GitHub. I will include an instructions-only plain text readme soon
