The authors wish to acknowledge all of the investigators who provided the data in the TDR Targets database including those that participated in the survey on drug targets for Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT survey) conducted during 2007. We would also like to acknowledge Brandeis University MS students P. Bais and B. Coflan for work on the association of targets with compounds; R. L. Stevens (Argonne National Laboratory) for providing data for gene essentiality in bacteria; K. Chaudhary and T. Carlow (New England BioLabs) for integrated C. elegans phenotype data; J. Sacchetini (Texas A&M) for information on known M. tuberculosis drug targets; and M. Schreiber (Novartis Institute for Tropical Diseases, Singapore) and J. Brown (GlaxoSmithKline) for input on integrating data on persistent expressed genes in dormant- stage M. tuberculosis infection. We would also like to acknowledge essential computational infrastructure and genome annotations made available through the OrthoMCL database (supported by the US National Institutes of Health; NIH); GeneDB (supported by the Wellcome Trust); Ensembl (supported by the European Bioinformatics Institute); and EuPathDB (supported by a Bioinformatics Resource Center contract from the US NIH/National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases). The authors also gratefully acknowledge Pfizer Global Research and Development for sharing data related to druggability.
