I'd like to compile an up-to-date list of pathway databases that are most useful for analyzing lists of genes mutated in cancer. The focus on cancer demands high-quality signaling pathways, but the database should not be limited to those.
I know that similar questions about pathway databases and analyses have been asked before, but they were not specific about the requirement to analyze cancer genomes.
Currently, I am aware of the following resources (which I also use):
- NCI Pathway Interaction Database (no longer updated since 2012)
- WikiPathways
- KEGG
- REACTOME
- BioCarta
- BBID
My impression is that the NCI Pathway Interaction Database is most useful in this context, but it is no longer maintained. WikiPathways made also a good impression on me in terms of quality and coverage.
Is there any important pathway database I miss? What databases do you use for pathway analysis of genes mutated in cancer?
1 answer
Are you interested only in the databases that annotate pathways, or in any database that can be used to determine the impact of a mutation observed in cancer?
Some other tools for the pathway analysis:
- STRING Computational prediction of protein interactions, assembling predictions from multiple sources.
- UNIPROT Pathways not very well known, but contains some well annotated pathways.
- BIOCARTA Pathways nice drawings of pathways.
- GSEA / MSigDB (for mouse)
I am only interested in annotated pathways for pathway analysis, not in mutation effect prediction.
