CTexploreR

Explores Cancer Testis Genes

Bioconductor version: 3.23 · Package version: 1.8.0

Other Bioconductor versions

devel is the development version; release is the current stable one.

3.24 (devel), 3.23 (release)

The CTexploreR package re-defines the list of Cancer Testis/Germline (CT) genes. It is based on publicly available RNAseq databases (GTEx, CCLE and TCGA) and summarises CT genes' main characteristics. Several visualisation functions allow to explore their expression in different types of tissues and cancer cells, or to inspect the methylation status of their promoters in normal tissues.
