The CANCER GENOME ANATOMY PROJECT
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.
