TPWshiny: an interactive RShiny app to explore the therapeutic response of NCI-60 cell lines

TPWshiny is a powerful standalone visualization tool for the genome-wide characterization of NCI-60 human cell lines and response to 15 different anticancer drugs at different time points. TPWshiny is an easy to install, R Shiny application to facilitate more interactive exploration of data from the NCI Transcriptional Pharmacodynamics Workbench (NCI TPW).
