Pan-cancer systematic identification of lncRNAs associated with cancer prognosis.

Matthew Ung | Evelien Schaafsma | Daniel Mattox | George L Wang | Chao Cheng
PeerJ | 2020

The "dark matter" of the genome harbors several non-coding RNA species including Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which have been implicated in neoplasia but remain understudied. RNA-seq has provided deep insights into the nature of lncRNAs in cancer but current RNA-seq data are rarely accompanied by longitudinal patient survival information. In contrast, a plethora of microarray studies have collected these clinical metadata that can be leveraged to identify novel associations between gene expression and clinical phenotypes.

This is a list of tools and resources that we have found mentioned in this publication.


Ensembl (tool)

RRID:SCR_002344

Collection of genome databases for vertebrates and other eukaryotic species with DNA and protein sequence search capabilities. Used to automatically annotate genome, integrate this annotation with other available biological data and make data publicly available via web. Ensembl tools include BLAST, BLAT, BioMart and the Variant Effect Predictor (VEP) for all supported species.

European Genome phenome Archive (tool)

RRID:SCR_004944

Web service for permanent archiving and sharing of all types of personally identifiable genetic and phenotypic data resulting from biomedical research projects. The repository allows you to explore datasets from numerous genotype experiments, supplied by a range of data providers. The EGA''s role is to provide secure access to the data that otherwise could not be distributed to the research community. The EGA contains exclusive data collected from individuals whose consent agreements authorize data release only for specific research use or to bona fide researchers. Strict protocols govern how information is managed, stored and distributed by the EGA project. As an example, only members of the EGA team are allowed to process data in a secure computing facility. Once processed, all data are encrypted for dissemination and the encryption keys are delivered offline. The EGA also supports data access only for the consortium members prior to publication.

Genomic Data Commons Data Portal (GDC Data Portal) (tool)

RRID:SCR_014514

A unified data repository of the National Cancer Institute (NCI)'s Genomic Data Commons (GDC) that enables data sharing across cancer genomic studies in support of precision medicine. The GDC supports several cancer genome programs at the NCI Center for Cancer Genomics (CCG), including The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET), and the Cancer Genome Characterization Initiative (CGCI). The GDC Data Portal provides a platform for efficiently querying and downloading high quality and complete data. The GDC also provides a GDC Data Transfer Tool and a GDC API for programmatic access.
