What libraries to use for Broads Cmap?

Question

[Jack]

I would like to start using CMap from Broad, but I don't know how to use it. Are there any specific tutorials that I should watch? or specific R (or Python) packages to download?

More specifically, I would like to try to identify compounds in CMap that are either up- or down-regulated.

You should look into the PharmacoGx package: https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/PharmacoGx.html

It's not very obvious, but one of the available datasets is CMap.

I am actually also curious if there are any good tools for accessing CMap.
