High throughput synthetic lethality screen reveals a tumorigenic role of adenylate cyclase in fumarate hydratase-deficient cancer cells.

BMC genomics | 2014

Synthetic lethality is an appealing technique for selectively targeting cancer cells which have acquired molecular changes that distinguish them from normal cells. High-throughput RNAi-based screens have been successfully used to identify synthetic lethal pathways with well-characterized tumor suppressors and oncogenes. The recent identification of metabolic tumor suppressors suggests that the concept of synthetic lethality can be applied to selectively target cancer metabolism as well.

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


PlantCyc (tool)

RRID:SCR_002110

Multi species reference database. Comprehensive plant biochemical pathway database, containing curated information from literature and computational analyses about genes, enzymes, compounds, reactions, and pathways involved in primary and secondary metabolism.

Reactome (tool)

RRID:SCR_003485

Collection of pathways and pathway annotations. The core unit of the Reactome data model is the reaction. Entities (nucleic acids, proteins, complexes and small molecules) participating in reactions form a network of biological interactions and are grouped into pathways (signaling, innate and acquired immune function, transcriptional regulation, translation, apoptosis and classical intermediary metabolism) . Provides website to navigate pathway knowledge and a suite of data analysis tools to support the pathway-based analysis of complex experimental and computational data sets.

DECIPHER (tool)

RRID:SCR_006552

Interactive database which incorporates a suite of tools designed to aid the interpretation of submicroscopic chromosomal imbalance. Used to enhance clinical diagnosis by retrieving information from bioinformatics resources relevant to the imbalance found in the patient. Contributing to the DECIPHER database is a Consortium, comprising an international community of academic departments of clinical genetics. Each center maintains control of its own patient data (which are password protected within the center''''s own DECIPHER project) until patient consent is given to allow anonymous genomic and phenotypic data to become freely viewable within Ensembl and other genome browsers. Once data are shared, consortium members are able to gain access to the patient report and contact each other to discuss patients of mutual interest, thus facilitating the delineation of new microdeletion and microduplication syndromes.
