CGAP's Goals

The goal of the NCI's Cancer Genome Anatomy Project is to determine the gene expression profiles of normal, precancer, and cancer cells, leading eventually to improved detection, diagnosis, and treatment for the patient. By collaborating with scientists worldwide, such as the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research and Lund University, CGAP seeks to increase its scientific expertise and expand its databases for the benefit of all cancer researchers.

The Web Site

The information is organized in a "biological sense" as follows:

	Genes Information on specific genes and collections of genes.		Chromosomes Gene mapping, BAC clones, and Mitelman database of chromosome aberrations.
	Tissues Information on CGAP and other cDNA libraries, gene expression, and SNPs.		SAGE Genie Analysis of gene expression using SAGE data.
	Pathways Diagrams of biological pathways and protein complexes, with links to genetic resources for each known protein/enzyme.		Tools Direct access to all the analytic and data mining tools developed for the project.

The CGAP web site provides researchers with access to all CGAP data and biological resources. Briefly, you can find:

• Genomic data for human and mouse, including expressed sequence tags (ESTs), gene expression patterns, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), cluster assemblies, and cytogenetic information.
• Informatics tools to query and analyze the data.
• Information on methods and resources for reagents developed by the project.
