Oncomine

This presentation from the BioMIBLab Summer 2006 Workshop is a database bioinformatics tool.

Synopsis
A unifying bioinformatic resource of analyzed cancer transcriptome data.

Features

 * Web based program
 * Meta analysis between different experiments
 * Easy to use interface across the spectrum of researchers
 * Bridges the gap between clinicians
 * can use when tumor samples are low due to wide variety of samples on the database


 * High level analysis
 * All analyzed data standardized
 * Co-Expression Analysis
 * Identifies genes that are similarly expressed across several tissue samples within various experiments


 * Only includes cancer specific data
 * Must go through external sites for raw data, therefore raw data is not in a standardized format.
 * Need login access (free for academic not free for civilians)
 * The link to the databases does not take you directly to the page for the specific gene. The user must search the database themselves.
