Selecting one of the KEGG Pathways below and clicking submit will open a new
window displaying a PDF file. The first page of that file is a clustered heatmap
that clusters MelanomaDB's 310 tumours by their mutational status in the genes
of the selected KEGG Pathway. The intersection between the tumour name
(on the y-axis) and the gene name (on the x-axis) is highlighted blue if that
tumour contains a mutation in that gene that affects its encoded protein's
sequence.
In addition, four annotations are given for each gene:
- 'Drug' indicates which genes encode proteins targeted by a drug
(according to DrugBank)
-
'Druggability' indicates which genes encode proteins that are predicted to be
druggable (according to ChEMBL DrugEBIlity's Ensemble score)
-
'Variant incidence' indicates genes with protein affecting mutations in more
than 1% (orange) and more than 5% (red) of the 310 MelanomaDB tumours.
-
'Survival' indicates those genes with RNA abundance associated with survival
according to our analysis of the data of Bogunovic et al 2009, so that the
Cox proportional hazards p value for association between RNA abundance and
patient survival is ≤ 0.05 without multiple testing correction.
The rest of the PDF file shows the selected KEGG Pathway for each individual
tumour, with genes with mutations affecting their protein sequences highlighted
in yellow. Genes that encode proteins that are targeted by an existing drug are
shown with red outlines and labels.
Please note that the result files can be big. This can lead to a long wait with
a slow internet connection. The tool will tell you the size of the file if it is
bigger than 25 MB and will ask you to confirm the process.
