		Drug Response Prediction from Differential Multi-Omics Networks
		// While it has been well established that drugs affect and
		help patients differently, personalized drug response
		predictions remain challenging. Solutions based on single omics
		measurements have been proposed, and networks provide means to
		incorporate molecular interactions into reasoning. However, how
		to integrate the wealth of information contained in multiple
		omics layers still poses a complex problem. We present a novel
		network analysis pipeline, DrDimont, Drug response prediction
		from Differential analysis of multi-omics networks. It allows
		for comparative conclusions between two conditions and
		translates them into differential drug response predictions.
		DrDimont focuses on molecular interactions. It establishes
		condition-specific networks from correlation within an omics
		layer that are then reduced and combined into heterogeneous,
		multi-omics molecular networks. A novel semi-local, path-based
		integration step ensures integrative conclusions. Differential
		predictions are derived from comparing the condition-specific
		integrated networks. DrDimont's predictions are explainable,
		i.e., molecular differences that are the source of high
		differential drug scores can be retrieved. Our proposed
		pipeline leverages multi-omics data for differential
		predictions, e.g. on drug response, and includes prior
		information on interactions. The case study presented in the
		vignette uses data published by Krug (2020)
		doi:10.1016/j.cell.2020.10.036. The package license applies
		only to the software and explicitly not to the included data.
