caddiepy 0.2.1

The python package to the Cancer Driver Drug Interaction Explorer (CADDIE)

caddiepy

The python package to the Cancer Driver Drug Interaction Explorer (CADDIE). It provides an interface for a variety of CADDIEs functionalities, giving the user the possibility to execute tasks on CADDIE programmatically without using the website. This allows to run a larger number of drug-target search or drug repurposing tasks and to implement CADDIE into your programs. For more information about CADDIE, visit the documentation.

Working example

import caddiepy

gene_list = ['PTEN', 'MYC']

# verify that genes exist in CADDIE
caddie_gene_list = caddiepy.api.map_gene_id(gene_list).json()['genes']

task = caddiepy.Task('drug', 'network_proximity', [gene['graphId'] for gene in caddie_gene_list])
# customize parameters
task.set_parameter('result_size', 5)
task.set_parameter('include_indirect_drugs', True)
task.set_parameter('gene_interaction_datasets', ['IID'])
task.set_parameter('drug_interaction_datasets', ['DrugBank'])
# start task
task.run()
# get result when task is finished, if task is still running wait until it is finished
result = task.get_result()

How to use

Import

Import the module:

import caddiepy

2 Steps to repurpose drugs and find drug-targets

Step 1: Map genes to CADDIE gene IDs. This step is necessary to verify the genes exist in the CADDIE database. The gene objects returned contains a mapping to different IDs.

# gene list is a list of gene identifiers: entrez, uniprot ac or hugo
caddiepy.api.map_gene_id(gene_list)

# example to receive list of caddie IDs
caddie_gene_list = caddiepy.api.map_gene_id(gene_list).json()['genes']
caddie_gene_id_list = [gene['graphId'] for gene in caddie_gene_list]

Step 2: Use CADDIE IDs to find putative drug-targets or candidate drugs using one of CADDIEs algorithms

Drug-target algorithms:

• multisteiner
• keypathwayminer
• trustrank
• harmonic_centraliy
• degree_centraliy
• betweenness_centraliy

Drug algorithms:

• trustrank
• harmonic_centraliy
• degree_centraliy
• network_proximity

# target is either 'drug' or 'drug-target'
# caddie_gene_id_list is a list of caddie gene IDs (like g123, g234, ...)
task = caddiepy.Task(target, algorithm, caddie_gene_id_list)
# set parameters like this (for a full list of parameters and the available datasets look below)
task.set_parameter('result_size', 50)
task.set_parameter('gene_interaction_datasets', [gene_interaction_dataset1, gene_interaction_dataset2, ...])
task.set_parameter('drug_interaction_datasets', [drug_interaction_dataset1, drug_interaction_dataset2, ...])
# start task
task.run()
# get result when task is finished, if task is still running wait until it is finished
result = task.get_result()
