| 2026 | scDock: streamlining drug discovery targeting cell-cell communication via scRNA-seq analysis and molecular dockingabstractSUMMARY: Identifying drugs that target intercellular communication networks represents a promising therapeutic strategy, yet linking single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis to structure-based drug screening remains technically challenging and requires substantial bioinformatics expertise. We present scDock, an integrated and user-friendly pipeline that seamlessly connects scRNA-seq data processing, cell-cell communication inference, and molecular docking-based drug discovery. Through a single configuration file, users can execute the complete workflow, from raw scRNA-seq data to ranked drug candidates, without programming skills. scDock automates the identification of disease-relevant ligand-receptor interactions from scRNA-seq data and performs structure-based virtual screening against these communication targets using Protein Data Bank (PDB) or AlphaFold-predicted protein structures. The pipeline generates comprehensive outputs at each stage, enabling users to explore intercellular signaling alterations and discover therapeutic compounds targeting specific cell-cell communications. scDock addresses a critical gap by providing an accessible end-to-end solution for communication-targeted drug discovery from single-cell data. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: scDock is freely available at https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.31370368 and https://github.com/Andrewneteye4343/scDock. It is implemented in R, Python, shell scripts, and supports Linux systems, including Ubuntu and Debian. Chen-Hao Huang 0003, Yen-Jen Oyang, Hsuan-Cheng Huang, Hsueh-Fen Juan |
