Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Herbal Components Based on Their Regulatory Signature on Carcinogenic Cancer Cells

Predicting cancer cells’ response to a plant-derived agent is critical for the drug discovery process. Recently transcriptomes advancements have provided an opportunity to identify regulatory signatures to predict drug activity. Here in this study, a combination of meta-analysis and machine learning...
