Computational Tools

To advance precision medicine by understanding aspects of the molecular complexity of cancer, the CPTAC program develops novel approaches to process large-scale proteogenomic data sets.

An important part of the CPTAC mission is to make data and tools available and accessible to the greater research community. Here, OCCPR has curated a collection of computational tools developed and/or utilized by CPTAC for processing and analysis of proteogenomic data. Although NCI does not endorse any specific tool, this list gives researchers a gateway to access bioinformatic tools that are useful for analyzing and/or visualizing large-scale proteomic and proteogenomic datasets generated through high-throughput screens and other approaches.
