Illustration of hypothetical PCA scores
plot for the following
scenarios (A) inactive compound, (B) active and selective inhibitor,
(C) active, nonselective inhibition of target and secondary protein,
and (D) active, nonselective preferential inhibition of secondary
protein. Labels correspond to: wild-type cells (open circles), drug-treated
wild-type cells (black solid circles), knockout mutant cells where
the protein target of the drug is inactive (open triangles), and drug-treated
mutant cells (black solid triangles). Abbreviations correspond to
mutant cells (mut) and wild-type cells (wt). Adapted from Forgue et
