Study | Number of drugs | Number of drug combinations | Number of cell lines | Number of tissues | Size of the full dose–response matrix |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
ALMANAC | 103 | 303 737 | 60 | 10 | 4 × 4 or 6 × 4 |
ONEIL | 38 | 92 208 | 39 | 6 | 5 × 5 |
FORCINA | 1818 | 1818 | 1 | 1 | 2 × 2 |
CLOUD | 283 | 40 160 | 1 | 1 | 2 × 2 |
The number of drug combinations was counted as one experiment where a drug combination has been tested for a particular cell line. For the ONEIL study, there are 583 unique drug combinations, where all of them have been tested in each of 39 cell lines, and therefore 583 × 39 = 22 737 drug combinations. All the drug combinations have been repeated multiple times including 22 422 drug combinations repeated four times while 315 drug combinations repeated eight times. Therefore, the total number of drug combination experiments sum up to 22 422 × 4 + 315 × 8 = 92 208 drug combinations. All the other studies have not provided the drug combinations that have been replicated on the exactly same concentrations.
