Impact/Purpose:
The federal Tox21 collaboration has generated high-throughput screening data on thousands of chemicals and, among the agencies involved, four concentration-response modeling pipelines exist for data analysis. Here, we present results of the evaluation of concordance among the four pipelines.
Description:
Within the field of predictive toxicology, high-throughput data are being generated with potentially different end-user interpretation. One reason for this discrepancy is that the underlying concentration-response models used to analyze the data may be different and hence may yield varying results. Several methods can adequately model dose-response relationships, and the generally-used outcome parameters, such as activity assignments, potency (e.g., AC50 values), and efficacies, can vary. The federal Tox21 collaboration has generated high-throughput screening data on thousands of chemicals and, among the agencies involved, four concentration-response modeling pipelines (3Stage, CurveClass, CurvepwAUC, and TCPL) exist for data analysis. Here, we present results of the evaluation of concordance among the four pipelines. We identify parameters associated with higher concordance between the pipelines, and develop a public web application to download and evaluate data taking advantage of the different pipeline analyses.
