# Open Targets Database ## Overview The Open Targets Platform is a comprehensive resource for systematic identification and prioritization of potential therapeutic drug targets. It integrates publicly available datasets including human genetics, omics, literature, and chemical data to build and score target-disease associations. **Key capabilities:** - Query target (gene) annotations including tractability, safety, expression - Search for disease-target associations with evidence scores - Retrieve evidence from multiple data types (genetics, pathways, literature, etc.) - Find known drugs for diseases and their mechanisms - Access drug information including clinical trial phases and adverse events - Evaluate target druggability and therapeutic potential **Data access:** The platform provides a GraphQL API, web interface, data downloads, and Google BigQuery access. This skill focuses on the GraphQL API for programmatic access. ## When to Use This Skill This skill should be used when: - **Target discovery:** Finding potential therapeutic targets for a disease - **Target assessment:** Evaluating tractability, safety, and druggability of genes - **Evidence gathering:** Retrieving suppor

About this skill
What does the opentargets-database skill do?

Query Open Targets Platform for target-disease associations, drug target discovery, tractability/safety data, genetics/omics evidence, known drugs, for therapeutic target identification.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills --skill opentargets-database --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills, a repository with 2,909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
