CancerVar: A New Bioinformatics Tool Developed for Clinical Interpretation of Cancer Mutations

XTalks

CancerVar will help researchers standardize and automate clinical interpretations for 13 million somatic mutations from 1,911 cancer census genes. The gene mutations that cause sporadic cancer occur only in the tumor cells and are acquired during an individual’s life, not inherited. What is CancerVar?
