Show abstract
Synthetic lethal interactions (SLIs), genetic interactions in which the simultaneous inactivation of two genes leads to a lethal phenotype, are promising targets for therapeutic intervention in cancer, as exemplified by the recent success of PARP inhibitors in treating BRCA1/2-deficient tumors. We present SL-Cloud, an integrated resource and framework to facilitate the prediction of context-specific SLIs by using cloud-based technologies. This resource addresses two main challenges related to SLI inference: the need to wrangle and preprocess large multi-omic datasets and the multiple comparable prediction approaches available. We demonstrate the utility of this resource by using a set of DNA damage repair genes as the basis for predicting potential SLI partners, using multiple computational strategies. Context-specific synthetic lethality potential can also be compared using the framework. We demonstrate various use cases for our cloud-based computational resource and the utility of this approach for customizable and extensible computational inference of SLIs.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
