Databases for oncogenomic research

Databases for oncogenomic research are biological databases dedicated to cancer data and oncogenomic research. They can be a primary source of cancer data, offer a certain level of analysis (processed data) or even offer online data mining.

The table below gives an overview of databases for that serve specifically for oncogenomic research. Note that this is not a comprehensive list and does not contain databases that have a generic focus. You may find databases containg cancer data among the List of biological databases or Microarray databases.

1. ^ The database is the publication site for (some of) its cancer raw data
2. ^ The database contains cancer data at a certain level of analysis (non-raw data)
3. ^ The database also contains cell line data
4. ^ The database contains cancer data that is available for everyone
5. ^ The database contains cancer data that is only available under some restriction
