Abstract: Discovering new drugs is time-consuming and expensive and involves many different
tools from various domains. Numerous omic technologies, such as genomics, transcriptomics,
proteomics, and metabolomics, have been created to speed up the process. Leveraging genetic and
genomic insights, these methodologies play a pivotal role. Genetic insights aid in target identification,
prioritization, and the prediction of drug outcomes. Gene expression data informs drug discovery,
while proteomics uncovers targets and facilitates high-throughput profiling. Enhancing
drug efficacy necessitates mechanistic insights into downstream effects, enabling side effects and
resistance prediction. Early-stage drug discovery now extensively employs diverse metabolomics
platforms. This review underscores the recent strides of omic technologies in drug discovery, affirming
their role in enhancing drug viability and regulatory approval. The emphasis lies on the
latest advancements in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, collectively
fortifying drug development.
