Tools

Software analysis and modeling tools

Our focus is on network analysis and modeling, integrated with cancer profiles that will enable us to identify diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, understand disease initiation and progression, which will lead to improving cancer treatment. Our tools and resources, such as NAViGaTOR, I2D, mirDIP, CDIP, and BTSVQ enable users to interpret integrated cancer profiles, and create relevant models dynamically. We also host a GeneCards mirror.

NAViGaTOR-Network Analysis, Visualization, & Graphing TORonto

NAViGaTOR-Network Analysis, Visualization, & Graphing TORonto

NAViGaTOR is a software package for visualizing and analyzing protein-protein interaction networks. NAViGaTOR can query OPHID / I2D - online databases of interaction data - and display networks in 2D or 3D. To improve scalability and performance, NAViGaTOR combines Java with OpenGL to provide a 2D/3D visualization system on multiple hardware platforms. NAViGaTOR also provides analytical capabilities and supports standard import and export formats such as GO and the Proteomics Standards Initiative (PSI).

In protein-protein interaction networks, nodes represent proteins, and edges between nodes represent physical interactions between the proteins.These visualizations can enable insights into the proteins that play key roles in diseases such as cancer.

I2D-Interologous Interaction Database

I2D-Interologous Interaction Database

I2D is an on-line database of known and predicted mammalian and eukaryotic protein-protein interactions. It has been built by mapping high-throughput (HTP) data between species. Thus, until experimentally verified, these interactions should be considered "predictions". I2D remains one of the most comprehensive sources of known and predicted eukaryotic PPI.

miRDIP - microRNA:target prediction Data Integration Portal

mirDIP is an on-line database that integrates twelve microRNA prediction datasets from six microRNA prediction databases, allowing users to customize their microRNA target searches. Combining microRNA predictions allows users to obtain more robust target predictions, providing more confidence in the microRNA targets.

CDIP - Cancer Data Integration Portal

CDIP is an on-line database of significantly deregulated genes in lung, ovarian, prostate and head&neck cancers. Work on pancreas cancer and sarcoma is ongoing.

NetwoRx - A database for linking drugs to pathways and networks

NetwoRx stores pre-computed drug lists for KEGG pathways, GO categories, YEASTRACT transcription factor targets, and orthologs of human KEGG DISEASE groups. Users can interactively explore or download pathway-drug, pathwaypathway, and drug-drug networks, or submit a new gene set to NetwoRx and retrieve the drugs that target it.

SCRIPDB - A Portal for Easy Access to Syntheses,Chemicals, and Reactions In Patents

SCRIPDB provides the full original patent text, reactions, and relationships described within any individual patent, in addition to the molecular files
common to structural databases. We discuss how such information is valuable in medical text mining, chemical image analysis, reaction extraction,
and in silico pharmaceutical lead optimization. SCRIPDB may be searched by exact chemical structure, substructure, or molecular similarity
and the results may be restricted to patents describing synthetic routes.

BTSVQ-Binary tree structured vector quantization

BTSVQ-Binary tree structured vector quantization

BTSVQ is a computational tool to analyze and visualize microarray gene expression data. This technique merges the results of SOM (genes space), and partitive k-means (specimen space). The algorithm uses vector quantization and self-organizing capabilities of SOMs in finding significant gene centers in gene space (high dimensionality and large number of clusters), and the effectiveness of k-means in experiment space (medium dimensionality and low number of clusters).
