Cancer dependency and drug response are usually modeled separately. Why? FORGE learns one latent space from DepMap expression data to predict gene dependency + drug sensitivity, integrating both into a Benefit Score. #CancerAI #CompBio #Bioinformatics @NCCN @DBTIndia @ICMRDELHI

Gene dependency-informed inference of response to targeted cancer therapies

Gene dependency-informed inference of response to targeted cancer therapies

Nature Communications - For targeted therapies in cancer, it is important to understand drug sensitivity at a mechanistic level. Here, the authors develop FORGE, a matrix factorization framework...
