diffHTS - Differential Drug Sensitivity Analysis for Two-Condition
High-Throughput Screens
A complete workflow for large-scale, two-condition
high-throughput drug screening (HTS). It compares drug
sensitivity between any two experimental conditions - for
example irradiated versus non-irradiated cells, cancer versus
normal cell lines, or treated versus untreated samples - across
many plates and experiments. The package covers the full
pipeline: control-based normalisation, plate-level
quality-control metrics (Z-factor, Z-prime,
signal-to-background, signal-to-noise and strictly standardised
mean difference), replicate-consistency checks, four-parameter
logistic dose-response fitting with area under the curve (AUC)
estimation, differential (delta) AUC scoring with within-plate
standardisation, cut-off and sigma-based hit selection, and
publication-ready heatmap, scatter and quality-control
visualisations.
