Predicting the hepatotoxic effects of new drugs is still a challenge. Using toxicogenomics data, the authors here define a predictive toxicogenomic space (PTGS), the component gene space capturing dose-dependent cytotoxicity, and demonstrate that it can be used to accurately predict drug-induced liver pathology, including human drug-induced liver injury fromin vitrodata.
