CanGeneBase (CGB) ‐ a database on cancer related genes
نویسندگان
چکیده
UNLABELLED The advent of genomic and proteomic technologies in this post-genomic era has urged the researchers to develop novel research strategies against cancer by targeting the human genes that would greatly facilitate to identify more promising treatment and to develop accurate early diagnosis for cancer. To harness the power of cancer genetic information towards better treatment we have developed a cancer gene database called CanGeneBase (CGB). It is a comprehensive data collection of cancer-related genes with the intention of helping the researchers to stay on a single platform to gain exclusive information on the genes of their interest. According to the Cancer Gene Data Curation Project, about 4,700 genes have been identified as being related to cancer. The present CanGeneBase covers about 12 different types of cancer which includes 190 unique gene entries. Each entry encompasses about 33 useful parameters to provide detailed information about specific gene. CanGeneBase is made in such a way that it can be easily accessed by either gene symbol or by the type of cancer. AVAILABILITY The database is freely available at http://122.165.25.137/bioinfo/cancerdb/

Novel insights into the expression of CGB1 & 2 genes by epithelial cancer cell lines secreting ectopic free hCGβ.
BACKGROUND Ectopic secretion of human chorionic gonadotrophin free beta (hCGβ) by epithelial cancer is associated with aggressive tumors which more readily metastasize, possibly by acting as an autocrine anti-apoptotic agent. hCGβ is encoded by six homologous CGB genes, with poorly-understood variable transcriptionally active expression profiles; CGB1 and CGB2 have always been considered pseudo...
متن کاملIdentification of Prognostic Genes in Her2-enriched Breast Cancer by Gene Co-Expression Net-work Analysis
Introduction: HER2-enriched subtype of breast cancer has a worse prognosis than luminal subtypes. Recently, the discovery of targeted therapies in other groups of breast cancer has increased patient survival. The aim of this study was to identify genes that affect the overall survival of this group of patients based on a systems biology approach. Methods: Gene expression data and clinical infor...
