Network of Cancer Genes is a web resource on systems-level properties of cancer genes and oncomiRs.
NCG reports information on duplicability, orthology, evolutionary appearance, interactions, function, expression of a manually curated list of 1,571 protein-coding cancer genes.[2] Cancer genes are genes with a driver role in the onset of human cancer upon mutations of their sequence[3] and/or amplifications of their genomic locus.[4] The list of cancer genes is derived from the union of the Cancer Gene Census (known cancer genes) and from the results of 77 whole genome or whole exome cancer-resequencing screenings (candidate cancer genes). In addition, the database also annotates possible false positives, defined as candidate cancer genes whose association with cancer is likely to be spurious.[5] NCG is also available as a smart phone application for Android.
