To provide a comprehensive resource for investigation of CPGs and their molecular mechanisms in cancer, we performed a collection and review of peer-reviewed literature from databases including Rahman's data, PubMed abstract, GeneReview, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) and Gene Reference Into Function (GeneRIF). After carefully checking manually, we finally obtained 918 human CPGs, including 800 protein-coding genes. The gene contents from the two databases and three literature sources were summarized in the figure below.
Information is represented on seven different types of pages, including General information and literature evidence, Gene expression information, Methylation information, Post transcriptional modification, Mutation information, Protein-protein interaction, and Drug information. It is easy to switch to other annotations by clicking the hyperlink at the top of the page.
2.1 General information and literature evidence
2.2 Gene expression information
In this page,users can find gene expression information from Expression Atlas.
2.3 Methylation information
In this page, users can find methylation information from DiseaseMeth.
2.4 Post transcriptional modification information
In PTM page, we extracted the gene PTM type information from dbPTM.
2.5 Mutation information
In the 'mutation' page, all the related germline mutations were curated from the ClinVar database.
2.6 Interaction information
In the 'interaction' page, the interaction table for storing gene corresponding UniProt accession number and its interacting partner, which were extracted from PINA database.
2.7 Pathway information
In the 'pathway' page, genes within its involved pathways were described. Through the hyperlink, we can link to the corresponding pathway in MSigDB.
2.8 Drug information
