Many researchers and clinicians expect that the welath of bioinformatics data will one day allow scientists to predict the efficacy and side effects of a particular drug before the compound is ever tested on patients.Other researchers see this as merely a pipe dream,but based on the recent results of researchers in Israel and The Netherlands,that pipe dream is one step closer to becoming a reality (Brit.J.Hematol.2003,123,683-692).
