Welcome to the RCDML Project!
The RNA-seq Count Drug-response Machine Learning (RCDML) Workflow is a ML workflow that can be used for drug response classification of rare disease patients. Given drug response data and RNA-seq count data, the model follows the ML workflow below to classify patients as "high responder" or "low responder" for a given inhibitor.
The RCDML pipeline was evaluated using RNA-seq count and drug response data available for Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patients and over 100 different drugs as part of the BeatAML project.
The RCDML source code consist of:
parser.py – Contains the code used to parse the configuration file.
data_preprocessing.py – Contains the code that loads and configures the dataset, and the code for assigning responder/non-responder labels.
feature_selection.py – Contains the implementations of the feature selection techniques and the feature counter generator.
classification.py – Contains the implementation of the classifiers and the hyperparameter optimization technique. The hyperparameter lists used are found here.
validation.py – Contains the code used to create the confusion matrices, ROC curves, run inference and make predictions.
main.py – Contains the framework structure. This is the script that needs to get called to run the ML pipeline.
parameters.cfg – Parameter configuration for the ML pipeline run. The user can select the feature selection techniques, classifiers, and other options that will be used in the run.
/tools/ - Utility tools for gathering results, create feature counters, get family drug list, etc. For more information on each tool follow this wiki page link.
/setup/ - Contains conda environment yml file and parameter configuration presets. For more information on each setup preset follow this wiki page.
