The base code for the transcriptomic comparison of the signatures was forked from tinkavidovic/competition. The program which was written in R , was run on an instance of Google Colab as a Jupyter Notebook. The source code and results can be found on the author's GitHub repository navanchauhan/COVID-19. For the transcriptomic comparison, PharmacoGx -An R package for for analysis of large pharmacogenomic datasets was used.
