salmonellaInfection: RNAi screen of human cells during Salmonella infection
Description
The package contains an RNAi screen on human cells under
Salmonella infection. Briefly, in HeLa cells all genes
were knocked-down individually by RNA interference.
Subsequently cells were infected with Salmonella. The
cells were imaged with a microscope and from the images
several features were extracted (for details see original
paper (Misselwitz2011)). This dataset contains normalized
infection ratios. These are computed as the logarithm of
the fraction of infected cells per knock-down.
Subsequently they are z-scored per plate. Duplicated
genes were removed and also genes containing NA values.
Format
a numeric matrix of 6860 genes (rows) with 3 siRNA values each
(columns).References
