Recently, scientists are looking not only for new biomarkers associated with a disease such as cancer but also identifying biomarkers that predict patients who are most likely to respond to a particular cancer treatment. Orderly endeavors to relate cancer mutational information with biological conditions may encourage the interpretation of somatic mutation indexes into significant biomarkers for patient stratification.We have screened and incorporated a board of cancer cell lines from Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer (GDSC) database to recognize genomic highlights related with drug sensitivity. We used mutation, DNA copy number variation, and gene expression information from Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer (COSMIC) and The Cancer Genome ATLAS (TCGA) for cell lines with their reactions to associate focused and cytotoxic treatments with approved drugs and drugs under clinical and preclinical examination.We discovered mutated cancer genes were related with cell reaction to, mostly accessible, cancer medications and some mutated genes were related with sensitivity to an expansive scope of therapeutic agents. By connecting drug activity to the useful many-sided quality of cancer genomes, efficient pharmacogenomic profiling in tumor cell lines gives an intense biomarker revelation stage to guide balanced malignancy remedial systems.Our study highlights that gene ANK2 amplification, and gene CELSER1 amplification and deletion are highly associated with anti-leukemic drug candidate LFM-A13. It also highlights that gene NUP214 and ROS1 copy number and gene NSD1 amplification are as a group highly associated with the parkinson drug Nilotinib. Finally, our study confirms that gene BRAF mutation is interacting with the BRAF-selective inhibitors drugs PLX4720 and SB590885. On the other hand, our study provides two open source analysis packages: bastah for the multitask-association analysis, and UNGeneAnno for automatic annotation of the variants.
