Figure 4. — Examples of NCG usage: (A) Example of information available in NCG for a given cancer gene, in this case the oncogene AKT2. NCG summarizes the gene mutation profile across cancer types, information on duplicability, orthology, protein–protein and miRNA interactions and gene expression (B) NCG can facilitate the selection of the best cell systems for experimental assays by providing the expression profile of the gene of interest in several tissues and cell lines. (C) NCG can be used to annotate altered genes from mutational screenings. (D) The advanced search interface of NCG allows the identification of drivers in a variety of cancer types. (E) NCG can be integrated in gene enrichment analysis pipelines as a source of cancer genes.
