What are Some Key Software Tools in Cancer Research?
Several software tools are widely used in cancer research:
GATK (Genome Analysis Toolkit): A suite of tools for variant discovery in high-throughput sequencing data. Bioconductor: An open-source project that provides tools for the analysis and comprehension of high-throughput genomic data. cBioPortal: An open-access resource for exploring multidimensional cancer genomics data. OncoKB: A precision oncology knowledge base that offers information about the effects and treatment implications of specific cancer gene alterations. TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas): A comprehensive resource of genomic and clinical data from various cancer types.
