Several NCBI tools are particularly useful for cancer research, including:
BLAST: For comparing sequences to identify similarities and potential functional regions. ClinVar: A resource that provides information about the clinical significance of genetic variants, including those associated with cancer. dbSNP: A database of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which can be used to study genetic variation in cancer. GEO: For accessing gene expression data, which can be used to identify differentially expressed genes in cancer.
