CARGO

CARGO aggregates and standardizes distributed biological data focused on human cancer genes to enable integration and visualization.

Key Features:

• Configurable framework: Built on a configurable framework that supports modular integration of data components.
• Rich Internet Application (RIA) with AJAX: Uses RIA technology and AJAX to dynamically update content without full page reloads.
• Modular widgets: Employs small, modular widgets that present minimal yet relevant descriptive information about biological entities.
• Human cancer gene catalogue: Provides a comprehensive list of human cancer genes with associated gene annotations and related biological information.
• Integration and standardization: Integrates resources from various internet databases into a standardized format to synthesize distributed data.
• Data visualization: Supports visualization of genetic and annotation data related to cancer research.

Scientific Applications:

• Exploration and visualization of cancer genetic data: Enables examination and visualization of genetic and annotation data for human cancer genes.
• Data integration and synthesis for hypothesis generation: Combines distributed database resources in a standardized form to support hypothesis generation, data analysis, and interpretation of experimental results.
• Support for cancer biology and therapeutic research: Facilitates analyses that contribute to understanding cancer biology and the development of potential therapeutic strategies.

Methodology:

Implements a configurable framework using Rich Internet Application (RIA) technology with AJAX, composed of modular widgets, and integrates resources from internet databases into a standardized format.
