What Tools Are Available for Analyzing Cancer Data?
Several computational tools have been developed to analyze the vast amounts of data stored in cancer databases. cBioPortal is a popular tool for interactive exploration of cancer genomics data. It allows users to visualize complex datasets and identify correlations between genomic alterations and clinical outcomes. The Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) is another essential tool that provides a flexible platform for the visualization of large-scale genomic data. For functional analysis, tools like DAVID and GSEA (Gene Set Enrichment Analysis) are commonly used to interpret biological significance and identify enriched pathways.
