# Browse AI-Based Pharmacogenomics Predictions Relevant to African Populations
This application provides a user-friendly interface to explore pharmacogenomics predictions, with a particular focus on data relevant to Africa.
## Project Overview
This project is a collaboration between the Ersilia Open Source Initiative and the H3D Center. The primary objective is to identify genes that could potentially influence drug responses. We wrote about this in a comment in Nature: Turon et al, 2024.
For a more comprehensive understanding of the project, please visit pharmacogx-embeddings, the central GitHub repository of the project.
This application provides a straightforward way to explore predictions derived from a combination of embedding-based drug-gene ranking and GPT-4 assisted re-ranking. For each drug, we offer 10 high-quality prioritized genes and 40 additional predictions of lower confidence.
## How to Use
To use this application, you first need to install the necessary dependencies. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Once the dependencies are installed, you can start the application using Streamlit with the following command:
```bash
streamlit run app/app.py
```
## Online Demo
For those who prefer not to install the application locally, we provide an online demo that you can access here:
