    Oncomine Professional

    Category  Genomics>Gene Expression Analysis/Profiling/Tools

    Abstract  Oncomine Professional is an advanced online cancer gene
    expression analysis system. Product combines a rapidly growing
    compendium of 20,000+ cancer transcriptome profiles with an
    advanced analysis engine and web application for data-mining and
    visualization. Oncomine was developed to exploit cancer transcriptome
    data for therapeutic target discovery, validation, and prioritization.  The
    Oncomine analysis engine pre-computes gene expression signatures,
    clusters and gene set modules so you can focus on discovery.
    Oncomine was developed by physicians, scientists, and software
    engineers at the University of Michigan. Product features include:


    Data-driven Target Discovery and Validation -
    With Oncomine Professional you can - 1) Compare gene expression
    profiles between normal and cancer samples; 2) Compare gene
    expression between different molecular, pathological, and clinical
    subtypes of cancer; 3) Identify potential drug targets by filtering for
    ‘druggable’ gene families such as kinases and membrane-bound
    proteins; 4) Validate target gene expression in normal tissues, benign
    conditions, hematological malignancies and solid tumors; 5)
    Investigate expression of genes in pathways and networks associated
    with cancer; 6) Identify pathways, processes, chromosomal regions,
    and regulatory motifs activated in cancer.

    Wide Range of High Quality Data -
    Oncomine data includes profiles from a wide range of normal human
    tissues, benign conditions, hematological malignancies, and solid
    tumors. Data is continuously collected from high-impact peer-reviewed
    publications and becomes available just days after collection.
    Pathologists and molecular biologists carefully collect and standardize
    'sample facts' related to the microarray profiles so that meaningful
    gene expression signatures can be derived. 'Sample facts' include
    diagnosis, grade, stage, clinical outcome, molecular alteration,
    biomarker status, and treatment response, among others.

    Gene Expression Signatures and Custom Results -
    Product is enhanced by a set of advanced analysis functions that
    compute gene expression signatures, clusters, and gene set modules,
    automatically extracting biological insights from the data. These pre-
    computed analyses facilitate user-friendly data-mining and customized
    reports via the Oncomine web application.

    This wealth of analyzed data can be examined in the context of a gene
    or pathology of interest. From a discovery standpoint, you can identify
    genes in a selected ontology or pathway that are most over-expressed
    in a selected pathology, such as membrane-bound receptors in
    metastatic melanoma or serinethreonine kinases in small cell lung
    cancer. From a validation or prioritization perspective, you can inspect
    the 'differential expression' of a target in a selected tissue or across the
    entire compendium, perhaps finding that a target is highly expressed in
    normal adrenal gland and is most over-expressed in prostate
    adenocarcinoma and acute lymphoblastic leukemia harboring E2A-
    PBX1 translocations. Such data indicates optimal disease populations
    for target investigation. Reports can be customized to focus on tissues,
    analysis types, and gene sets of interest.

    To date, over 1,300 gene expression signatures have been derived,
    each representing sets of genes deregulated in biologically or clinically
    important sets of samples. These signatures can be accessed in the
    Profile Search. For each signature, reports are available summarizing
    the cancer genes and known therapeutic targets most deregulated in
    the sample set, as well as the biological processes, signaling
    pathways, metabolic pathways, regulatory motifs, chromosome
    localizations and in vitro signatures that are most enriched or depleted
    in the signature. In addition, Oncomine includes tools to identify and
    visualize deregulated signaling pathways, metabolic pathways, and
    protein-protein interaction networks.

    Note 1: Integration of Oncomine with Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (see
    G6G Product Number 20017) - A key strength of the Oncomine system
    is the ease and speed at which abstract relationships between
    disparate concepts such as drug treatments and patient response can
    be identified.  The scale, diversity, and independent nature of the data
    in the Oncomine system reinforces confidence in its results. When
    coupled with the Ingenuity Pathways Analysis, researchers are enabled
    with advanced tools to develop and test hypotheses, and then explore
    the causal basis for disease and clinical outcome at the systems level.

    You can navigate the large collection of public cancer profiling data
    (and internal data for Oncomine Enterprise edition customers) in
    Oncomine Professional and make comparisons, identify significant
    relationships, resulting gene lists. Analysis continues directly in
    Ingenuity Pathways Analysis with a subset of genes identified from a
    particular study and analysis in Oncomine. This capability enables
    valuable insights to be gained on how dysregulated genes interact in
    disease and potential targets for drugs. It also provides a large
    collection of gene expression studies that function as a virtual
    laboratory for further refinement in Ingenuity Pathways Analysis.

    Note 2: Oncomine Concepts Edition - Oncomine Concepts Edition
    builds on Oncomine Professional and includes Oncomine Concepts
    Map (Product Number 20015), an advanced signature mapping tool
    that is tightly integrated with Oncomine allowing you to search the
    Oncomine database for enrichment of user-defined gene signatures.
    Oncomine Enterprise Edition - Oncomine Enterprise Edition builds
    upon Oncomine Professional and Oncomine Concepts Edition by
    providing the ability to securely share user-defined signatures across
    teir organization and add a customer’s own internal gene expression
    datasets to the Oncomine and Oncomine database.

    Other configuration notes

    Use of Oncomine does not typically require additional system memory
    beyond normal web-based applications, a lack of memory may cause
    performance degradation and instability in Microsoft Windows.

    Use of Oncomine with Mozilla Firefox® is not recommended due to
    errors which occur in the SVG viewer.

    Use of Oncomine along with Google® Web Accelerator is not
    recommended as caching results in a failure to update views.

    We do not have reports of success using Oncomine on Apple
    platforms. A number of limitations have been observed.
