NCG -- Network of Cancer Genes

What you can do:
Find information about properties of cancer genes.
Highlights:
  • The Network of Cancer Genes (NCG) collects and integrates data on 736 human genes that are mutated in various types of cancer.
  • For each gene, NCG provides information on duplicability, orthology, evolutionary appearance and topological properties of the encoded protein in a comprehensive version of the human protein-protein interaction network.
  • NCG also stores information on all primary interactors of cancer proteins, thus providing a complete overview of 5357 proteins that constitute direct and indirect determinants of human cancer.
  • With the constant delivery of results from the mutational screenings of cancer genomes, NCG represents a versatile resource for retrieving detailed information on particular cancer genes, as well as for identifying common properties of precompiled lists of cancer genes.
