PharmacoGx is an R/Bioconductor package we developed to simplify the analysis of large PharmacoGenomic Datasets. All the datasets included in PharmacoDB are available as R objects for analysis using PharmacoGx, with both the pharmacological and molecular data from each study. PharmacoGx incorporates all the annotations of each study available in PharmacoDB, and provides a suite of statistical modeling functions to jointly analyze molecular features and drug dose-response curves.
PharmacoGx is simple to start using once R is installed and running on your system. If its your first time using PharmacoGx, download and install the package and all its dependencies by opening an R console and running the following commands:
After installing for the first time, to load the package you can run the following command in your R session:
You can download a PharmacoSet (PSet) object for any of the datasets in PharmacoDB. For example, to download a PSet with all the pharmacological and molecular data for CCLE and begin analysing the data, you can use the following commands:
