Welcome to LM-DTI

An online tool to predict the interaction between drug and target gene



Drug–target interaction (DTI) prediction is a crucial step in drug discovery and repositioning as it reduces experimental validation costs if done right. Thus, developing in-silico methods to predict potential DTI has become a competitive research niche.

LM-DTI is a web server for drug–target interactions prediction. It is based on the heterogeneous network data fusion,network embedding and ensemble learning. It can serve the following functions.

1) 1 to all DTI prediction. Input one drug id and it predicts the interaction between the input drug and all the genes in the database.

2) M to N DTIprediction. Input m drug and n genes(up to 100) and it predicts the interaction between the input drug and the input genes.

All analyses are performed at the levels of heterogeneous network topology. The full prediction datasets can also be downloaded in the "Download" page.

Comprehensive usage instructions can be found in the "Help" menu.


News

Jul 2018: the original LnCompare program is released.
Feb 2019: a stable similar gene discovery module has been established.

LM-DTI Tutorial

How to run Similar Gene Discovery

  1. LM-DTI can calculate the probability of association between drug and target gene. Here, two ways of prediction are provided: one is 1-to-all prediction (input one drug and calculate the probability with all genes in the database); the other one is M-to-N prediction (input a list of drugs and a list of genes calculate the association probability between them). In addition, a test dataset can also be analysed by clicking the "example" button.
  2. Select the prediction method and input data.
  3. Submit the request by clicking the "Submit" button.
  4. Note: If users choose the M-to-N prediction, the maximum size of each set is 100.


How to interpret results of DTI prediction

  1. Results for interaction analysis. Toggle the number of displayed results according to the indicated cutoffs: top 10, top 20 and top 50.
  2. Thr results are displayed as a table. The drug-target pairs are sorted according to their probabilty, with higher values indicating more likely to be related.
