Using gene expression to predict other measurements has been actively explored; however, systematic investigation of its predictive power in various measurements has not been well studied. Here, we evaluated commonly used machine learning methods and presented TransCell, a two-step deep transfer learning framework that utilized the knowledge derived from pan-cancer tumor samples to predict molecular features and responses. Among these models, TransCell had the best performance in predicting metabolite, gene effect score (or genetic dependency), and drug sensitivity, and had comparable performance in predicting mutation, copy number variation, and protein expression. Notably, TransCell improved the performance by over 50% in drug sensitivity prediction and achieved a correlation of 0.7 in gene effect score prediction. Furthermore, predicted drug sensitivities revealed potential repurposing candidates for new 100 pediatric cancer cell lines, and predicted gene effect scores reflected BRAF resistance in melanoma cell lines. Together, we investigated the predictive power of gene expression in six molecular measurement types and developed a web portal (http:\/\/apps.octad.org\/transcell\/) that enables the prediction of 352,000 genomic and cellular response features solely from gene expression profiles.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/gpbjnl\/qzad008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,10]],"date-time":"2024-01-10T00:14:28Z","timestamp":1704845668000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["TransCell:
