Cell Index Database (CELLX): a web tool for cancer precision medicine

Pac Symp Biocomput. 2015:10-9.

Abstract

The Cell Index Database, (CELLX) (http://cellx.sourceforge.net) provides a computational framework for integrating expression, copy number variation, mutation, compound activity, and meta data from cancer cells. CELLX provides the computational biologist a quick way to perform routine analyses as well as the means to rapidly integrate data for offline analysis. Data is accessible through a web interface which utilizes R to generate plots and perform clustering, correlations, and statistical tests for associations within and between data types for ~20,000 samples from TCGA, CCLE, Sanger, GSK, GEO, GTEx, and other public sources. We show how CELLX supports precision oncology through indications discovery, biomarker evaluation, and cell line screening analysis.
