Abstract
Abstract The UCSC Xena platform (http://xena.ucsc.edu/) allows biologists and bioinformaticians to securely analyze and visualize their private functional genomics data in the context of public genomic and clinical data sets. The Xena platform consists of a set of federated data hubs and the Xena browser, which integrates across hubs, providing one location to analyze and visualize all data. Our expanding public Xena Data Hubs currently hosts 1400+ data sets from more than 35 cancer types, as well as Pan-Cancer data sets. Our public data hubs serve seminal cancer genomics and functional genomics data set to the scientific community, including the latest TCGA, TARGET, ICGC, and GTEx data sets. We support most data types including somatic and germline SNPs, INDELs, large structural variants, CNV, gene-, transcript-, exon- protein-, miRNA-expression, DNA methylation, phenotypes, clinical data, subtype classifications and genomic biomarkers. Additionally, investigators’ own functional genomics data can be hosted on private hubs running on their laptop or behind the firewall. Data is integrated on the UCSC Xena Browser, allowing biologists to view and interpretation of their genomic data in the context of a large collection of cancer genomics data sets such as TCGA. The lightweight Xena data hubs are straightforward to install on Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems and loading data is easy using either our application or command line interface. This system of the browser and hubs helps researchers combine new or preliminary results from their laptops or internal servers, or even data from a new paper, securely with vetted data from the public sphere. Visualizations and analyses include dynamic Kaplan-Meier survival analysis to assess survival stratification by any information in addition to our visual spreadsheet, scatter plots and bar graphs. We seek feedback at our poster on new visualizations and functionalities. Citation Format: Mary Goldman, Brian Craft, Jingchun Zhu, David Haussler.
