CTdata

CTdata compiles and distributes data from publicly available databases (GTEx, CCLE, TCGA and ENCODE) to support re-definition of a comprehensive and thoroughly curated list of cancer-testis (CT) genes and their main characteristics.

Key Features:

• Multi-database integration: Aggregates data from GTEx, CCLE, TCGA, and ENCODE databases.
• CT gene curation support: Provides companion data for CTexploreR to enable re-definition of cancer-testis gene lists and their characteristics.

Scientific Applications:

• Cancer-testis gene research: Supports systematic identification and characterization of CT genes across normal and cancer tissues.
• Comparative transcriptomics: Enables cross-database analysis of gene expression patterns in normal tissues (GTEx), cancer cell lines (CCLE), tumors (TCGA), and regulatory elements (ENCODE).

Methodology:

Data compilation from publicly available databases GTEx, CCLE, TCGA, and ENCODE as a companion data package to CTexploreR.
