CHASM is a method that predicts the functional significance of somatic missense mutations observed in the genomes of cancer cells, allowing mutations to be prioritized in subsequent functional studies, based on the probability that they give the cells a selective survival advantage. SNV-Box is a database of pre-computed features of all possible amino acid substitutions at every position of the annotated human exome. Users can rapidly retrieve features for a given protein amino acid substitution for use in machine learning.

An online database of curated cancer stem cell (CSC) experiments coupled to the Galaxy analytical framework. Driven by a need to improve our understanding of molecular processes that are common and unique across cancer stem cells (CSCs), the SCDE allows users to consistently describe, share and compare CSC data at the gene and pathway level. The initial focus has been on carefully curating tissue and cancer stem cell-related experiments from blood, intestine and brain to create a high quality resource containing 53 public studies and 1098 assays. The experimental information is captured and stored in the multi-omics Investigation/Study/Assay (ISA-Tab) format and can be queried in the data repository. A linked Galaxy framework provides a comprehensive, flexible environment populated with novel tools for gene list comparisons against molecular signatures in GeneSigDB and MSigDB, curated experiments in the SCDE and pathways in WikiPathways. Investigation/Study/Assay (ISA) infrastructure is the first general-purpose format and freely available desktop software suite targeted to experimentalists, curators and developers and that: * assists in the reporting and local management of experimental metadata (i.e. sample characteristics, technology and measurement types, sample-to-data relationships) from studies employing one or a combination of technologies; * empowers users to uptake community-defined minimum information checklists and ontologies, where required; * formats studies for submission to a growing number of international public repositories endorsing the tools, currently ENA (genomics), PRIDE (proteomics) and ArrayExpress (transcriptomics). Galaxy allows you to do analyses you cannot do anywhere else without the need to install or download anything. You can analyze multiple alignments, compare genomic annotations, profile metagenomic samples and much much more. Best of all, Galaxy''''s history system provides a complete analyses record that can be shared. Every history is an analysis workflow, which can be used to reproduce the entire experiment. The code for this Galaxy instance is available for download from BitBucket.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on April 28,2023. An initiative to develop a molecular classification schema that is both clinically and biologically meaningful, based on gene expression and genomic data from tumors (Gliomas) of patients who will be prospectively followed through natural history and treatment phase of their illness. The study will also explore gene expression profiles to determine the responsiveness of the patients and correlate with discrete chromosomal abnormalities. The initiative was designed to obtain a large amount of molecular data on DNA and RNA of freshly collected tumor samples that were collected, processed and analyzed in a standardized fashion to allow for large-scale cross sample analysis. The sample collection is accompanied by careful and prospective clinical data acquisition, allowing a variety of matched molecular and clinical data permitting a wide variety of analyses. GMDI has accrued fresh frozen tumors in the retrospective phase (all from the Henry Ford Hospital, without germline DNA) and fresh frozen tumors in the prospective phase (from a variety of institutions). In addition to characterizing the samples from patients enrolled in GMDI, the microarray group has generated genomic-scale analyses of the many human and canine glioma initiating cells/glioma stem cells (GIC/GSC) lines, as well as many canine and murine normal neural stem cell (NSC) lines produced in laboratory.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on April 28,2023. REMBRANDT is a data repository containing diverse types of molecular research and clinical trials data related to brain cancers, including gliomas, along with a wide variety of web-based analysis tools that readily facilitate the understanding of critical correlations among the different data types. REMBRANDT aims to be the access portal for a national molecular, genetic, and clinical database of several thousand primary brain tumors that is fully open and accessible to all investigators (including intramural and extramural researchers), as well as the public at-large. The main focus is to molecularly characterize a large number of adult and pediatric primary brain tumors and to correlate those data with extensive retrospective and prospective clinical data. Specific data types hosted here are gene expression profiles, real time PCR assays, CGH and SNP array information, sequencing data, tissue array results and images, proteomic profiles, and patients'''' response to various treatments. Clinical trials'''' information and protocols are also accessible. The data can be downloaded as raw files containing all the information gathered through the primary experiments or can be mined using the informatics support provided. This comprehensive brain tumor data portal will allow for easy ad hoc querying across multiple domains, thus allowing physician-scientists to make the right decisions during patient treatments., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on December 17, 2021. Database to store, annotate, view, analyze and share microarray data. It provides registered users access to their own data, provides users access to public data, and tools with which to analyze those data, to any public user anywhere in the world. The GenePattern software package has been incorporated directly into SMD, providing access to many new analysis tools, as well as a plug-in architecture that allows users to directly integrate and share additional tools through SMD. This extension is available with the SMD source code that is fully and freely available to others under an Open Source license, enabling other groups to create a local installation of SMD with an enriched data analysis capability. SMD search options allow the user to Search By Experiments, Search By Datasets, or Search By Gene Names. Web services are provided using common standards, such as Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). This enables both local and remote researchers to connect to an installation of the database and retrieve data using pre-defined methods, without needing to resort to use of a web browser.

Exploratory Gene Association Networks (EGAN) is a software tool that allows a bench biologist to visualize and interpret the results of high-throughput exploratory assays in an interactive hypergraph of genes, relationships (protein-protein interactions, literature co-occurrence, etc.) and meta-data (annotation, signaling pathways, etc.). EGAN provides comprehensive, automated calculation of meta-data coincidence (over-representation, enrichment) for user- and assay-defined gene lists, and provides direct links to web resources and literature (NCBI Entrez Gene, PubMed, KEGG, Gene Ontology, iHOP, Google, etc.). EGAN functions as a module for exploratory investigation of analysis results from multiple high-throughput assay technologies, including but not limited to: * Transcriptomics via expression microarrays or RNA-Seq * Genomics via SNP GWAS or array CGH * Proteomics via MS/MS peptide identifications * Epigenomics via DNA methylation, ChIP-on-Chip or ChIP-Seq * In-silico analysis of sequences or literature EGAN has been built using Cytoscape libraries for graph visualization and layout, and is comparable to DAVID, GSEA, Ingenuity IPA and Ariadne Pathway Studio. There are pre-collated EGAN networks available for human (Homo sapiens), mouse (Mus musculus), rat (Rattus norvegicus), chicken (Gallus gallus), zebrafish (Danio rerio), fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster), nematode (Caenorhabditis elegans), mouse-ear cress (Arabidopsis thaliana), rice (Oryza sativa) and brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). There is now an EGAN module available for GenePattern (human-only). Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible
