Drug repurposing has become the focus of experts in drug development. In PriorCD, pathway activities and drug activities are combine to construct drug functional similarity network, and on which a global network propagation algorithm is applied. First, drug functional similarity network is constructed by the correlation and fdr of drug pairs. Then a global netwokr propagation (RWR) is performed on this network to prioritize candidates. Finally, ROC and network structure of the result can be browsed in PriorCD by getROC and getDDN functions.
