1 Overview

The gDRtestData package is intended to store and generate example data that can be used through the gDR suite.

2 Use Cases

2.1 Synthetic data generation

Since gDR is a computational suite for drug response data from any experiment, a synthetic dataset is also needed for testing and exploration.

The basis of this package are two functions to generate the synthetic sets of cell lines and drugs.

cell_lines <- create_synthetic_cell_lines()
drugs <- create_synthetic_drugs()

These base objects can be extended with additional information.

  1. Replicates
cl_rep <- add_data_replicates(cell_lines)
head(cl_rep)
  1. Concentration
cl_conc <- add_concentration(cell_lines)
head(cl_conc)

Or the user can do both with one function:

df_layout <- prepareData(cell_lines, drugs)
head(df_layout)

Additionally, the user may fill in the full response data with the day 0 part.

df_layout_small <- prepareData(cell_lines[seq_len(2), ], drugs[seq_len(4), ])
df_layout_small$Duration <- 72
df_layout_small$ReadoutValue <- 0
df_layout_small_with_Day0 <- add_day0_data(df_layout_small)
head(df_layout_small_with_Day0)

In a further step, the user may generate a set of synthetic results:

  1. Hill coefficient
hill <- generate_hill_coef(cell_lines, drugs) 
  1. EC50 metric
ec50_met <- generate_ec50(cell_lines, drugs) 
  1. E inf metric
einf_met <- generate_e_inf(cell_lines, drugs)

Or the user can create full response data with one function (for single-agent):

response_data <- prepareMergedData(cell_lines, drugs)
head(response_data)

SUMMARY

Step Function Output (data.table)
0 create_synthetic_cell_lines() synthetic cell lines
0 create_synthetic_drugs() synthetic drugs
1 prepareData() cell lines and drug merged with replicates and concentration
2 prepareMergedData() full response data for single-agent
2 prepareComboMergedData() full response data for combo
2 prepareCodilutionData () full response data for co-dilution

2.2 Synthetic object of gDR data model

The gDR data model is built on the MultiAssayExperiments (MAE) structure. A detailed description of the gDR data model can be found in gDRcore package vignette.

In inst/testdata the user may find a set of qs files that are examples of gDR data model for different data types. In the file synthetic_list.yml one can find a list of these datasets. Currently available are:

#> * combo_2dose_nonoise, 
#> * combo_2dose_nonoise2, 
#> * combo_2dose_nonoise3, 
#> * combo_codilution_small, 
#> * combo_codilution, 
#> * combo_matrix_small, 
#> * combo_matrix, 
#> * combo_triple, 
#> * medium, 
#> * small_no_noise, 
#> * small, 
#> * wLigand .

The script generate_example_data.R which shows how to generate and process above-mentioned datasets is in inst/scripts dir. All key functions can be found in package gDRcore in script generate_wrappers.R.

2.3 Annotation data

In inst/annotation_data the user can find CSV files used in gDRcore for testing annotation functions.

2.4 Other

Other files which were not mentioned above are used for testing gDR suite functionality.
