Junior B. 72f1a49de6 Week 4: recovery test (FAIL, reported honestly) + 2-page report
Run the formal recovery test against the pre-registered criteria and
write the deliverable report (PLAN §6 Week 4):
- week4_recovery_test.py: evaluate hydroxyurea/L-glutamine + 5
  pre-specified negative controls vs the committed criteria
- recovery_test_report.md: methodology, FAIL result with diagnosis,
  top-10, lisinopril as the non-obvious candidate, limitations, v2
- known_limitations.md: L-glutamine coverage resolved, 12%-overlap
  driver, recovery outcome table

Outcome: FAIL on all 3 criteria (hydroxyurea top 13%, L-glutamine
WTCS=0, 1/5 negative controls bottom-half). Root cause is signature/
assay data limitations (lost erythroid+HbF axis, 12% landmark overlap),
not the matching algorithm — reported straight per the project ethos.

Reverso MVP — Sickle Cell Repurposing Pipeline

A minimum viable drug repurposing pipeline for sickle cell disease: build a disease signature from public transcriptomic data, build drug profiles for ~300 small molecules, and rank them by CMap-style connectivity scoring. Validated by a recovery test — do the two known sickle cell drugs (hydroxyurea, L-glutamine) rank near the top?

See PLAN.md for the full specification, locked decisions, and week-by-week build plan.

Quickstart

# Requires Python >=3.11,<3.13 (see note below)
pip install -e .            # or: pip install -e ".[dev]" for test/lint tooling
pytest                      # run unit tests

Python version note: use Python 3.113.13 (python3.13 -m venv .venv). Python 3.14 is not yet supported by all pipeline dependencies (pydeseq2, cmapPy).

Project layout

data/         raw (downloaded, never edited) / processed / results — gitignored
notebooks/    01..05, run end-to-end in order
src/          identifiers, disease, drugs, scoring, provenance
tests/        scoring unit tests
docs/         recovery_test_report.md, data_sources.md, known_limitations.md

The deliverable

When complete, the artifact to share is three files:

  1. docs/recovery_test_report.md — the 2-page write-up
  2. data/results/ranked_candidates_v1.csv — the ranked drug list
  3. The signature + drug profile files with provenance

Notebook Stage Output

Every persisted artifact carries a confidence tier (A/B/C) and provenance. See PLAN.md §3.
