Alterations in cancer genomes strongly influence clinical responses to treatment and many instances are potent biomarkers for response drugs. The Genomics of Drug Sensitivity Cancer (GDSC) database (www.cancerRxgene.org) is the largest public resource information on drug sensitivity cells molecular markers response. Data freely available without restriction. GDSC currently contains data almost 75 000 experiments, describing 138 anticancer drugs across 700 cell lines. To identify response,...
Abstract Combinations of anti-cancer drugs can overcome resistance and provide new treatments 1,2 . The number possible drug combinations vastly exceeds what could be tested clinically. Efforts to systematically identify active the tissues molecular contexts in which they are most effective accelerate development combination treatments. Here we evaluate potency efficacy 2,025 clinically relevant two-drug combinations, generating a dataset encompassing 125 molecularly characterized breast,...
In vitro cancer cell cultures are facile experimental models used widely for research and drug development. Many lines available efforts ongoing to derive new representing the histopathological molecular diversity of tumours. Cell have been generated by multiple laboratories over decades consequently their annotation is incomplete inconsistent. Furthermore, relationships between many patient-matched derivative lost, accessing information datasets time-consuming difficult. Here, we describe...
CRISPR genetic screens in cancer cell models are a powerful tool to elucidate oncogenic mechanisms and identify promising therapeutic targets. The Project Score database (https://score.depmap.sanger.ac.uk/) uses genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 dropout screening data hundreds of highly annotated genes required for fitness prioritize novel oncology currently allows users investigate the effect 18 009 tested across 323 models. Through interactive interfaces, can by selecting specific gene, model or...
Abstract Oncology drug combinations can improve therapeutic responses and increase treatment options for patients. The number of possible is vast be context-specific. Systematic screens identify clinically relevant, actionable in defined patient subtypes. We present data 109 anticancer from AstraZeneca's oncology small molecule portfolio screened 755 pan-cancer cell lines. Combinations were a 7 × concentration matrix, with more than 4 million measurements sensitivity, producing an...
High-throughput testing of drugs across molecular-characterised cell lines can identify candidate treatments and discover biomarkers. However, the cells’ response to a drug is typically quantified by summary statistic from best-fit dose-response curve, whilst neglecting uncertainty curve fit potential variability in raw readouts. Here, we model experimental variance using Gaussian Processes, subsequently, leverage estimates associated biomarkers with new Bayesian framework. Applied vitro...
Abstract The Genomic of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer (GDSC; www.cancerRxgene.org) resource facilitates development targeted cancer therapies through pre-clinical identification therapeutic biomarkers. GDSC is the largest public for information on drug sensitivity cells and links these data to extensive genomic identify molecular features that influence anticancer response. There compelling evidence alterations genomes strongly clinical responses therapies. are several examples where changes...
