Additional file 2 of A gene-signature progression approach to identifying candidate small-molecule cancer therapeutics with connectivity mapping

Significant drugs returned with the k=50 HDACi gene signature. The list of significant drugs returned from sscMap using the k=50 HDACi gene signature from the “simulated experiment”. All 7 known HDAC inhibitors were pulled out, but together with many other drugs, which may or may not related to HDAC inhibition. The main biological theme (HDAC inhibition) could potentially be weakned or even masked due to the co-existence of many other drugs. (XLSX 17 kb)
