Background
- Large-scale cancer research projects like TCGA provide valuable data.
- High-throughput omics data analysis is computationally intensive and limited by current webtools.
- Existing tools often lack gene-level analysis and integration with sample annotations.
Purpose Of The Study
- To develop a user-friendly webtool for large-scale, gene-centric analysis of cancer transcriptomic data.
- To address the limitations of existing webtools in handling complex omics data and providing integrated analysis.
- To facilitate in-depth exploration of cancer data by relating gene expression to clinical and molecular information.
Main Methods
- Developed Evergene using R and Shiny.
- Integrated RNA-sequencing data with sample and clinical annotations.
- Implemented methods for principal component analysis, survival analysis, and correlation analysis.
Main Results

Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...
Overview
Describing the number and physical features of chromosomes can reveal abnormalities that underlie genetic diseases. This description is facilitated by special staining techniques that produce a particular banding pattern on each chromosome. State-of-the-art techniques make this approach even more powerful, enabling the detection of individual genes that cause disease.

Mice have long served as models for studying human biology and pathology because of their phylogenetic and physiological similarity with humans. They are also easy to maintain and breed in the laboratory, and hence, many inbred strains are now available for research. Studies on mice have contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cancer biology.
The development of transgenic, knockout, and knock-in mice has led to an exponential increase in their use as model organisms in research,...
