Recommendations for pharmacotranscriptomic profiling of drug response in CNS disorders

Pharmacotranscriptomics is a still very new field of research that has just begun to flourish and promises to enable target discovery, inform biomarker and evaluate drug efficacy beyond pharmacogenomics. The aim of this review is to provide a critical overview of the biological foundations of transcriptomics, methodological approaches to transcriptomic studies, and their advantages and limitations. We present the different RNA species (rRNAs,...
