    Oncomine Concepts Map

    Category  Genomics>Gene Expression Analysis/Profiling/Tools

    Abstract  Oncomine Concepts Map (OCM) is a web-based resource
    that researchers can access as an additional component of Oncomine
    Professional (see G6G Product Number 20014). OCM has the ability to
    leverage publicly available high-throughput molecular profiling data to
    produce something new - biological insight into the genetic
    associations that link over 18,000 individual gene, protein, drug, and
    pathways signatures from the literature and other public and private
    sources. OCM uses experimentally defined gene sets as a common
    language for the systematic comparison of biological concepts from
    heterogeneous sources, so that when distinct biological phenomena
    share similar sets of gene expression patterns, those linkages can be
    detected. Product features/benefits include:

    Molecular Concept Data Collection - A “Molecular Concept” is defined
    as a set of genes (a gene “signature”) that is characteristically
    associated with some biological phenomena (e.g., differential
    expression in disease or after drug treatment, or genes involved in a
    specific pathway or regulatory mechanism). To date, over 18,000
    biologically related sets of genes have been defined from over 18,000
    microarray experiments and 12 sources of reference data. These are
    the types of molecular concepts used in OCM.

    Oncomine Professional - Cancer signatures used in OCM are derived
    from 1,100+ Oncomine analyses that compare gene expression
    patterns between logical groupings of normal and malignant human
    tissues or cell-lines. Oncomine (database) currently contains cancer-
    relevant data from over 18,000 microarray experiments curated from
    over 260 independent studies.

    Note: The manufacturer updates Oncomine (database) on a quarterly
    basis, doubling the database annually.

    Drug Treatment Data - OCM contains concepts from drug over-
    expression and under-expression signatures derived from 379+
    compound treatment experiments spanning 164 unique compounds,
    many of which are FDA approved drugs.
    Additional Data Sources - 1) Chromosome arm and cytoband
    mappings; 2) Biological process, molecular function, and cellular
    component annotations; 3) Metabolic pathways; 4) Signaling pathways;
    5) Protein domains and family assignments; 6) Protein-protein
    interaction sets; 7) Peer-reviewed publications resulting in over 485
    literature-defined concepts.

    Data Analysis - OCM uses association analysis to calculate the pair-
    wise association of each individual concept with respect to every other
    concept in the database. Pairs of concepts that exhibit statistically
    significant overlap are considered ‘linked’. The OCM database is a
    growing collection of over 290,000 associations between different
    molecular concepts that have been detected and ranked by statistical
    significance. OCM enables you to upload proprietary gene signatures
    and identify matches of those signatures with all the concepts in the
    OCM database.

    Data Visualization - The OCM user interface is a database-driven web
    application providing you with the ability to navigate, analyze, and
    visualize molecular concepts and concept links. You have the ability to
    search concepts in the database by keyword, query significant concept
    links, and visualize networks of concept relationships.

    Possible questions you can answer with OCM - 1) I know the gene
    signature of my lead compound. What other diseases are associated
    with it? 2) I know the gene signature of a competitor’s compound. What
    pathways does it regulate? 3) I know the gene signature of my lead
    compound from animal studies. What other compounds are most like
    it? Are any of them associated with toxicological outcome in humans?
    4) I am working on a diagnostic for papillary carcinoma. What genes
    distinguish it from clear cell carcinoma? What genes would predict
    both? In what other conditions are the same genes up-regulated? 5) I
    have a curious gene signature. What pathways and diseases are
    associated with those genes?

    Benefits - 1) Converts large amounts of high-throughput molecular data
    to a series of biological concepts linked by common gene expression
    patterns; 2) Enables the validation of current hypotheses by allowing
    you to compare gene lists of interest against concepts available in the
    OCM database; 3) Enables the building of novel hypotheses by
    revealing links between gene lists of interest and other biological
    processes; 4) Provides a broad understanding of the activated and
    repressed processes, pathways, and regulatory programs typical of
    different disease states; 5) Identifies connections between a wide
    range of biological phenomena, including transcriptional regulation,
    protein-protein interactions, disease subpopulations, and drug
    treatments.

    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.
