Health-RI cBioPortal

About

The Health-RI cBioPortal provides a web-based resource for researchers to explore, visualise, analyse, and share multidimensional cancer genomics data sets as well as other studies with multidimensional genomics data.

Visualisations include survival analysis, networks analysis, co-expression and the onco-print (gene-print). Furthermore, a study view provides summary statistics of your clinical data allowing to create a subset of your data for further analysis.

The portal supports a variety of genomic data types, including somatic mutations, DNA copy-number alterations (CNAs), mRNA and microRNA (miRNA) expression, DNA methylation, protein abundance, and phosphoprotein abundance.

To protect your data, the cBioPortal hosted by Health-RI has access policies, meaning that as a study owner you can decide which users have access to your studies. No bioinformatics expertise required for viewing, analysing and querying the data in cBioPortal.

A fair-use policy applies to the use of cBioPortal, associated with terms of use  and a pricing model.

For further questions regarding this Health-RI platform, including requests for usage, please contact the Health-RI Servicedesk.  
 

Examples on the use and visualisation possibilities of cBioPortal 

Getting started

For a hands-on introduction: please check the tutorials of cBioPortal. 

To use cBioPortal for your study data, please contact the Health-RI Servicedesk to receive more information. Once the decision is made to use cBioPortal, only the data owner like the principal investigator (PI) of the study (or a delegate with explicit consent of the data owner) can make a new study request via the Health-RI Self Service Portal (please contact the Health-RI Servicedesk to create a Health-RI Self Service Portal account if you do not have one yet). 
One of the Health-RI cBioPortal operators will discuss the data preparation steps with the data owner and/or data modeller* of the study. It’s the data owner’s responsibility to provide other users within the study with instructions and guidelines to ensure that they act accordingly.

If you would like to have access to a study already in cBioPortal, please fill in the corresponding form in the Health-RI Self Service Portal. Please contact the Health-RI Servicedesk to create a Health-RI self-service portal account if you do not have one yet.

* In most cases, the data owner such as the PI assigns a data modeller involved in the study to perform the data preparation steps instead of preparing the data themselves.
