DriverDBv5: A database for human cancer driver gene research
What is DriverDBv5?
A comprehensive cancer omics database for identifying and characterizing driver genes across multiple cancer types. It integrates diverse molecular data — including somatic mutations, RNA, miRNA, protein, methylation, and CNV — alongside clinical information and curated annotations, now spanning 188 cancer cohorts, 44,569 patients, and 130,454 samples. Through three intuitive interfaces — Cancer, Gene, and Customized Analysis — researchers can explore complex relationships between specific cancers and their associated driver genes, enabling deeper insights into cancer biology and mechanisms.
The ‘Cancer’ function explores driver genes and miRNA drivers associated with the selected cancer type and their functional roles across multiple omics layers.
(View example: Lung adenocarcinoma)
The ‘Gene’ function explores a selected gene across cancers, integrating expression, mutation, CNV, methylation, protein, miRNA regulation, survival, and multi-omics evidence to characterize its potential driver roles.
(View example: EGFR)
