Abstract

In drug discovery, measuring the effects of genetic perturbations is a powerful tool for studying unknown disease mechanisms, but biological interpretation of these effects, especially with the advent of screens involving combinatorial perturbations, remains challenging. To address limitations in current methodology we introduce PertSpectra, a guided triple matrix factorization that incorporates p…
