Alethio Therapeutics Python Toolkit

alethiotx

Alethio Therapeutics Python Toolkit - A growing collection of open-source computational tools used by Alethio Therapeutics.

Overview

alethiotx is a modular Python package providing specialized tools for therapeutic research and drug discovery. Currently, the package features the Artemis module for drug target prioritization using public knowledge graphs. Additional modules and capabilities will be added in future releases.

Current Modules

Artemis Module (alethiotx.artemis)

The Artemis module enables accessible and scalable drug prioritization by integrating clinical trial data, drug databases (TTD), pathway information, and machine learning models. It leverages public knowledge graphs to prioritize therapeutic targets across multiple disease areas.

Artemis Module Features

• Clinical Trials: Query and analyze clinical trials data from ClinicalTrials.gov
• TTD: Match clinical interventions with TTD drug information and targets
• Pathway Genes: Retrieve and analyze pathway genes using GeneShot API
• Target Scoring: Calculate clinical target scores for drug targets based on trial phases and approvals
• Machine Learning Pipeline: Built-in cross-validation and for target prediction
• Multi-Disease Support: Pre-configured for breast, lung, prostate, melanoma, bowel cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease

Future Modules

Additional modules for various aspects of drug discovery and therapeutic research are planned for future releases. Stay tuned!

Installation

pip install alethiotx

Quick Start

Note: The examples below demonstrate the Artemis module functionality. As new modules are added to the package, they will have their own usage examples.

1. Retrieve Clinical Trials Data

from alethiotx.artemis import trials, ttd, drugscores

# Query clinical trials for a specific indication
breast_trials = get_clinical_trials(search='Breast Cancer', last_6_years=True)

# Match trials with TTD to get target information
ttd_data = ttd(breast_trials)

# Calculate clinical development scores
scores = get_clinical_scores(ttd_data, include_approved=True)
print(scores.head())

2. Load Pre-computed Clinical Scores

from alethiotx.artemis import load_clinical_scores

# Load clinical scores for multiple diseases
breast, lung, prostate, melanoma, bowel, diabetes, cardio = load_clinical_scores(date='2025-11-11')

3. Pathway Gene Analysis

from alethiotx.artemis import get_pathway_genes load_pathway_genes

# Query GeneShot for disease-associated genes
aml_genes = get_pathway_genes("acute myeloid leukemia")
print(aml_genes.loc["FLT3", ["gene_count", "rank"]])

# Get top pathway genes for diseases
breast_pg, lung_pg, prostate_pg, melanoma_pg, bowel_pg, diabetes_pg, cardio_pg = load_pathway_genes(n=100)

4. Machine Learning Pipeline

from alethiotx.artemis import pre_model, cv_pipeline, roc_curve
import pandas as pd

# Prepare your knowledge graph features (X) and clinical scores (y)
result = pre_model(X, y, pathway_genes=pathway_genes, bins=3)

# Run cross-validation pipeline
scores = cv_pipeline(X, y, n_iterations=10, scoring='roc_auc')
print(f"Mean AUC: {sum(scores)/len(scores):.3f}")

# Generate ROC curves
mean_auc = roc_curve(result['X'], result['y_binary'], n_splits=5, classifier='rf')

5. Visualize Gene Overlaps with UpSet Plots

from alethiotx.artemis import prepare_upset, create_upset_plot

# Load clinical scores or pathway genes for multiple diseases
breast, lung, prostate, melanoma, bowel, diabetes, cardio = load_clinical_scores()

# Prepare data for UpSet plot (mode='ct' for clinical targets)
upset_data = prepare_upset(breast, lung, prostate, melanoma, bowel, diabetes, cardio, mode='ct')

# Create and display the UpSet plot
plot = create_upset_plot(upset_data, min_subset_size=5)
plot.plot()

# For pathway genes, use mode='pg'
breast_pg, lung_pg, prostate_pg, melanoma_pg, bowel_pg, diabetes_pg, cardio_pg = load_pathway_genes(n=100)
upset_data_pg = prepare_upset(breast_pg, lung_pg, prostate_pg, melanoma_pg, bowel_pg, diabetes_pg, cardio_pg, mode='pg')
plot_pg = create_upset_plot(upset_data_pg, min_subset_size=10)
plot_pg.plot()
