Bioinformatics. 2020 Feb 1;36(3):980-981. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btz624.

Abstract

Summary: Krüppel-associated box domain zinc finger protein (KRAB ZNF) explorer is a web-based tool for comprehensive characterization of the mRNA expression status of KRAB-ZNF transcription factors in the data from The Cancer Genome Atlas study. Key functionalities cover a comparative analysis of KRAB-ZNF expression between normal and cancer tissues, an association of KRAB-ZNF expression with various pathological features, including survival analysis, association with global DNA methylation status, analyses of KRAB-ZNF isoform expressions and analysis of KRAB-ZNF levels in normal tissues.

Availability and implementation: KRAB ZNF explorer is available at http://mi2.mini.pw.edu.pl: 8080/KRAB_ZNF/. The source code for shiny application is available at: https://github.com/MI2DataLab/KRAB_ZNF/tree/master/app and the source code for analyses and precalculations are available at: https://github.com/MI2DataLab/KRAB_ZNF/tree/master/work.
