Synthetic lethality-mediated precision oncology via the tumor transcriptome

Description

We provide the source codes that were used to generate the results of our manuscript, ‘Synthetic lethality-mediated precision oncology via the tumor transcriptome.’ This software is available for academic use through a data sharing agreement.

1. Structure of the codes

The repository includes source codes under ./R directory and relevant data under ./data directory. To make predictions for treatment outcome, we used prediction.targeted.R for cytotoxic/targeted agents, and prediction.immuno.R for immune checkpoint therapies. We have a total of 23 datasets available in this repository with 10 cytotoxic/targeted agent cohorts in ./data/targeted directory and 13 immune checkpoint therapy cohorts in ./data/immuno. Not all the datasets used in the manuscript are made available here because some of the datasets are restricted to be shared due to data sharing agreements with the provider.

2. Platform used to test the codes

The codes were tested with R version 3.6.1 (2019-07-05) on a x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) platform using R libraries ROCR v1.0-7, caTools v1.18.0, survival v3.1-11, survminer v0.4.6, Rcpp v1.0.3, and data.table v1.12.8.

3. How to install the codes

(1) Create a new directory named 'SELECT' and another directory named 'R' under 'SELECT' directory.

(2) Download the source code under 'SELECT/R' directory.

(3) Download the data under 'SELECT' directory. All the relevant data is compressed in https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hMK9d4icJHeQHu2BvbWl0umtwJihK2Fh/view?usp=sharing. Once extracted it generates ./data folder, and the data for inference of the SL/SR partners and test the predictions in clinical trial datasets are available.

cd SELECT

wget --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1hMK9d4icJHeQHu2BvbWl0umtwJihK2Fh' -O data.zip

(or type this link in your browser: ‘https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hMK9d4icJHeQHu2BvbWl0umtwJihK2Fh/view?usp=sharing’)

unzip data.zip

(4) Install R libraries as needed.

> install.packages("data.table")

> …

(5) Launch the code of interest

> source("./R/prediction.targeted.R")

> source("./R/prediction.immuno.R")

 

 

Files

Restricted

The record is publicly accessible, but files are restricted to users with access.

Request access

If you would like to request access to these files, please fill out the form below.

You need to satisfy these conditions in order for this request to be accepted:

The source code is available for non-profit, academic research purposes only. Following the policy of NIH/NCI, the requesters should fill in, sign, and return the following software use agreement. The Recipient Investigator is most likely not the Authorized Recipient Official. An Authorized Recipient Official is someone who is authorized to sign legal documents on behalf of the institution; this person usually works in the Technology Transfer Department or the Office of Sponsored Research. The Authorized Recipient Official’s signature is legally binding upon the institution and they regularly sign contracts or research agreements. This software use agreement may also require review from your institution’s legal team.

We recommend the requesters to copy the following contents into a word processor, insert the specific research question to be addressed with the SELECT code, generate a PDF document with the requester's requisite signatures, and send it to Lisa Gallmon (lisa.gallmon@nih.gov) along with Zenodo request. (Unfortunately, Zenodo does not have the option for us to provide the requesters with a Word document version of the software use agreement). If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

SOFTWARE TRANSFER AGREEMENT

PROVIDER: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

RECIPIENT:

WHEREAS, PROVIDER has certain proprietary software and associated material described below (hereinafter, collectively referred to as “Software”),

National Cancer Institute SynthEtic LEthality and rescue-mediated precision onCology via the Transcriptome (SELECT) software (NIH Ref. No. E-150-2020), provided as source code, a computer program to  predict the response to targeted and chemotherapy using the synthetic lethal interaction partners and the response to immunotherapy using the synthetic rescues interaction partners as described in Lee et al. (Cell 184(9) 2487-2502, 2021, DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2021.03.030), including further improvements thereof, and related documentation.

PROVIDER agrees to transfer such Software to RECIPIENT, to be used solely in connection

with the following research activity and for the following reasons (hereinafter “Project”). Describe with specificity the scope of use of Software under this Agreement:

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein, the

PROVIDER and RECIPIENT agree, and RECIPIENT SCIENTIST acknowledges as follows:

 

1. SOFTWARE SHALL NOT BE USED FOR TREATING OR DIAGNOSING HUMAN

SUBJECTS.

 

2. RECIPIENT will not license or sell or use Software for commercial purposes or applications.

RECIPIENT shall retain control over Software and further will not transfer the

Software to individuals not under RECIPIENT SCIENTIST’s direct supervision without the

advance written approval of PROVIDER. RECIPIENT agrees to comply with all regulations

applicable to the Project and the use of the Software.

 

3. RECIPIENT agrees not to copy Software, in whole or in part, except as required for use by

RECIPIENT SCIENTIST for the conduct of the Project. RECIPIENT intends to modify the Software in the course of conducting the Project (“Modified Software”).  Other than as intended under the Project, RECIPIENT shall not modify, extend, decompile, make derivatives of or reverse engineer the Software without written permission from PROVIDER.

 

 

4. In all oral presentations or written publications concerning the Project, RECIPIENT will

acknowledge PROVIDER’s contribution of SOFTWARE unless requested otherwise. RECIPIENT may

publish or otherwise publicly disclose the results of the Project.

 

5. Title in the Software shall remain with the PROVIDER.  RECIPIENT shall retain ownership of the Modified Software. For the sake of clarity, ownership of the Software or components thereof in the Modified Software shall remain with the PROVIDER.  Irrespective, RECIPIENT  shall be free to use the Modified Software for internal research and development purposes only.  .  Except as outlined herein, nothing shall be deemed to constitute, by implication or otherwise, the grant to either party by the other of any license or other rights under any patent, patent application or other intellectual property

right or interest. PROVIDER reserves the right to distribute Software to others and to use it for PROVIDER’s own purposes.
