What's new?



  • Find here a chronological listing of bc-GenExMiner versions.

  • Gene symbol and probeset annotations of datasets are regularly reviewed* to offer up-to-date tool.

    Evolution of bc-GenExMiner mainly consists in the inclusion of new annotated genomic datasets and new data mining functions.

    *: web databases source (e.g.: Ensembl, GeneCards, HGNC, NCBI Gene...)

    4.8 2022/01/17 Correlation module updated All analyses: new clinical item added (nodal status).
    Expression module updated All analyses: choice of figure type at the first step, access to statistical data (table and while mousing over figure) and calculation time improved.
    All modules updated EMF downloadable figure file format replaced by SVG format, easier to handle to suit journal requirements.
    Gene annotations updated
    2 877 miRNA have been removed from microarrays and RNAseq dataset.

    Expression module updated Targeted analysis: 3 populations criteria added: nature of the tissue, TNBC subtypes and integrative clusters.
    Exhaustive analysis: 3 populations criteria added (see targeted analysis).
    Customised analysis: discretisation option added.
    Prognostic module updated Targeted analysis: PR population criterion added, mixed choice rename to all, one event added and rename all event status to 'DMFS', 'OS' and 'DFS'.
    Exhaustive analysis: one event added and rename all event status to 'DMFS', 'OS' and 'DFS' + updated results display.
    Intrinsic molecular subtypes analysis: possibility to choose between 3 populations events: 'DMFS', 'OS' and 'DFS' + deep update of results display.
