Exome sequencing identifies recurrent somatic RAC1 mutations in melanoma.

We characterized the mutational landscape of melanoma, the form of skin cancer with the highest mortality rate, by sequencing the exomes of 147 melanomas. Sun-exposed melanomas had markedly more ultraviolet (UV)-like CtextgreaterT somatic mutations …

Melanoma prognostic model using tissue microarrays and genetic algorithms.

PURPOSE: As a result of the questionable risk-to-benefit ratio of adjuvant therapies, stage II melanoma is currently managed by observation because available clinicopathologic parameters cannot identify the 20% to 60% of such patients likely to …

Semantic web data warehousing for caGrid.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is developing caGrid as a means for sharing cancer-related data and services. As more data sets become available on caGrid, we need effective ways of accessing and integrating this information. Although the data …

Leveraging the structure of the Semantic Web to enhance information retrieval for proteomics.

MOTIVATION: Proteomics researchers need to be able to quickly retrieve relevant information from the web and the biomedical literature. To improve information retrieval, we leverage the structure of the semantic web, developing an approach for …
