(Predict Response from Expression Data and Identify Cell line/Clinical Targets and Trends)

Additional details about this package can be found in our publication oncoPredict: an R package for predicting in vivo or cancer patient drug response and biomarkers from cell line screening data

An R package for drug response prediction and drug-gene association prediction. The prepared GDSC and CTRP matrices for the calcPhenotype() are located in the oncoPredict OSF.

  • For drug response prediction, use calcPhenotype.
  • For pre-clinical biomarker discovery, use GLDS.
  • For clinical biomarker discovery, use IDWAS (for CNV or somatic mutation association with drug response) or indicate cc=TRUE (for gene expression association with drug response) in calcPhenotype().
  • The link to updated CCLE gene expression data is found at depmap. We provide GDSC1/GDSC2 pre-processed expression and response data, as well as CTRP response data and depmap's CCLE expression data (18Q2) here.

User Notes:

  • Reminder that it is best to logtransform the training and test datasets (i.e. log(TPM + 1)) before batch correction ("eb"). That is, use log-transformed expression data when using calcPhenotype.
