UALCAN

UALCAN is a user-friendly, interactive web resource for analyzing cancer transcriptome data. It is built on PERL-CGI with high quality graphics using javascript and CSS. UALCAN is designed to, a) provide easy access to publicly available cancer transcriptome data (TCGA and MET500 transcriptome sequencing), b) allow users to identify biomarkers or to perform in silico validation of potential genes of interest, c) provide publication quality graphs and plots depicting gene expression and patient survival information based on gene expression, d) evaluate gene expression in molecular subtypes of breast and prostate cancer, e) provide additional information about the selected genes using links to HPRD, GeneCards, Pubmed, TargetScan and The human protein atlas.

UALCAN是一款用户友好、支持交互式操作的癌症转录组数据分析网络平台。它基于PERL-CGI构建，借助JavaScript与CSS实现高质量图形可视化效果。UALCAN的设计功能涵盖以下五项：a）便捷获取公开可用的癌症转录组测序数据（TCGA与MET500转录组测序数据）；b）支持用户识别生物标志物，或对目标潜在基因开展虚拟（in silico）验证；c）提供符合学术出版标准的图表，用于展示基因表达水平及基于基因表达水平的患者生存信息；d）评估乳腺癌与前列腺癌分子亚型中的基因表达水平；e）通过链接至HPRD、GeneCards、PubMed、TargetScan及人类蛋白质图谱（The Human Protein Atlas），为选定基因提供补充关联信息。
