Beyondcell: targeting cancer therapeutic heterogeneity in single-cell RNA-seq data
GENOME MEDICINE(2021)
摘要
We present Beyondcell, a computational methodology for identifying tumour cell subpopulations with distinct drug responses in single-cell RNA-seq data and proposing cancer-specific treatments. Our method calculates an enrichment score in a collection of drug signatures, delineating therapeutic clusters (TCs) within cellular populations. Additionally, Beyondcell determines the therapeutic differences among cell populations and generates a prioritised sensitivity-based ranking in order to guide drug selection. We performed Beyondcell analysis in five single-cell datasets and demonstrated that TCs can be exploited to target malignant cells both in cancer cell lines and tumour patients. Beyondcell is available at: https://gitlab.com/bu_cnio/beyondcell .
