Using the depmap data
2024-10-31
This vignette illustrates use cases and visualizations of the data found in the depmap package. See the depmap vignette for details about the datasets.
1 Introduction
The depmap
package aims to provide a reproducible research framework to cancer dependency
data described by Tsherniak, Aviad, et al. “Defining a cancer dependency map.”
Cell 170.3 (2017): 564-576.. The
data found in the depmap
package has been formatted to facilitate the use of common R packages such as
dplyr and ggplot2. We hope that this package will allow researchers to more
easily mine, explore and visually illustrate dependency data taken from the
Depmap cancer genomic dependency study.
2 Use cases
Perhaps the most interesting datasets found within the
depmap
package are those that relate to the cancer gene dependency score, such as
rnai and crispr. These datasets contain a score expressing how vital a
particular gene is in terms of how lethal the knockout/knockdown of that gene is
on a target cell line. For example, a highly negative dependency score implies
that a cell line is highly dependent on that gene.

datasets listed below are from the 19Q3 release. Newer datasets, such as those
from the 20Q1 release are available.

# crispr <- eh[["EH3081"]]
# drug_sensitivity <- eh[["EH3087"]]By importing the depmap data into the R environment, the data can be mined
more effectively. For example, if one interested researching soft tissue
sarcomas and wanted to search all such cancer cell lines for the gene with the
greatest dependency, it is possible to accomplish this task by using data
manipulation and visualization tools dplyr and ggplot2. Below, the rnai
dataset is selected for cell lines with “SOFT_TISSUE” in the CCLE name, and
displaying a list of the highest dependency scores.

make an interesting candidate target. Below, a plot of the rnai data is
displayed as a histogram showing the distribution of dependency scores for gene
RPL14.
## Basic histogram

A more complex plot of the rnai data, as shown below involves plotting the
distribution of dependency scores for gene RPL14 for each major type of
cancer, while highlighting the nature of mutations of this gene in such cancer
cell lines (e.g. if such are COSMIC hotspots, damaging, etc.). Notice that the
plot above reflects the same overall distribution in two dimensions.

High dependency, high expression genes are more likely to interesting research targets. Below is a plot of expression vs rnai gene dependency for Rhabdomyosarcoma Sarcoma:
