Table 1. Criteria for the search strategy used in drug target rankings.

Criteria (default weighting) Weighting
FPKM1 > 10 in each tissue 0.1
Essentiality2 0.1
Drug literature: hit to ChEMBL 0.25
Drug literature: druggable in ChEBML 0.75
Drug literature: tractable in ChEBML 0.25
DrugBank: hit to DrugBank approved list 1
No DrugBank approved target, although clinical data are available 0.25
TTD: protein is orthologous to TTD-successful target 1
TTD: No TTD-successful target but matches compound target 0.25
Lead compound found 1
The protein is a GPCR or a protein kinase 1
No lead compound but presence of drug domain 0.2

FPKM represents Fragments Per Kilobase of transcript per Million mapped reads.
