drugfindR: Drug Repurposing using Gene Expression Signatures

Description

drugfindR is a package that allows users to perform drug repurposing using gene expression signatures. It uses the LINCS L1000 database to find the most similar gene expression signatures to the user's input signature. It then uses the connectivity analysis to find the most similar drugs to the user's input signature.
