As shown in Supplementary Fig. 5, the IC50 of paclitaxel showed positive correlations with the IC50s of AZD5991 (rp = 0.696, p < 2.97 × 10−10) and MIM1 (rp = 0.454, p < 2.2 × 10−16) across all cell lines, and also across ovarian cancer cell lines only (rs = 0.412, p = 0.04 for AZD5991, and rs = 0.684, p = 1.88 × 10−5 for MIM1), further supporting our results. The gene discussed is MIMT1; the disease is ovarian cancer.
