Chemical genomics is an interdisciplinary field that combines small molecule perturbation with traditional genomics to understand gene function and to study the mode(s) of drug action. A benefit of chemical genomic screens is their breadth; each screen can capture the sensitivity of comprehensive collections of mutants or, in the case of mammalian cells, gene knock-downs, simultaneously. As with other large-scale experimental platforms, to compare and contrast such profiles, e.g. for clustering known compounds with uncharacterized compounds, a robust means to compare a large cohort of profiles is required. Existing methods for correlating different chemical profiles include diverse statistical discriminant analysis-based methods and specific gene filtering or normalization methods. Though powerful, none are ideal because they typically require one to define the disrupting effects, commonly known as batch effects, to detect true signal from experimental variation. These effects are not always known, and they can mask true biological differences. We present a method, Bucket Evaluations (BE) that surmounts many of these problems and is extensible to other datasets such as those obtained via gene expression profiling and which is platform independent.
