项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Understanding genetic changes in cancer will lead to a better diagnosis, prognosis and therapy. In synergy with large scale cancer genomics projects, such as The Cancer Genome Altas (TCGA), a computational biology research team at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center plans to elucidate the role of thousands of protein mutations observed in many human tumor samples. The Online Mutation Assessor (OMA), a web-accessible computational resource, will combine detailed knowledge about the evolution and structure of proteins and their interactions in biomolecular pathways with advanced algorithms and software technology. The goal is to provide researchers with an increasingly accurate and informative estimate of the functional impact of mutations observed in humantumor samples. In particular, we aim to develop a next generation of algorithms and software for the purpose of assessing the functional impact of non-synonymous cancer- associated mutations. We will apply these to all known mutations and embed the resulting predictions in the web of high-quality biological information systems such as genome databases. In close collaboration with clinical researchers, we will then analyze protein mutations observed in thousands of tumor samples in tens of cancer subtypes. The resulting detailed predictions will allow ranking of mutations in terms of relative importance and greatly increase the efficiency of targeted experiments. Knowing the likely functional impact of mutations will point to the better use of existing therapies and lead to the discovery of new drug targets for pharmaceutical development. When translated to clinical practice, detailed knowledge about an individual's mutation profile will enable a personalized approach to therapy.

描述（由申请人提供）：了解癌症的遗传变化将导致更好的诊断，预后和治疗。在与大规模癌症基因组学项目的协同作用中，例如癌症基因组ALTAS（TCGA），这是纪念Sloan Kettering Cancer Center的计算生物学研究团队计划，旨在阐明许多人类肿瘤样品中观察到的数千种蛋白质突变的作用。在线突变评估师（OMA）是一种可访问的计算资源，将结合有关蛋白质的演化和结构的详细知识及其在生物分子途径中与先进算法和软件技术中的相互作用。目的是为研究人员提供越来越准确且内容丰富的估计，对在夏并样品中观察到的突变的功能影响。特别是，我们旨在开发下一代算法和软件，以评估非同义癌症相关突变的功能影响。我们将将这些应用于所有已知的突变，并将所得预测嵌入高质量生物信息系统（例如基因组数据库）的网络中。随后，我们将与临床研究人员密切合作，分析在数十次癌症亚型中数千种肿瘤样品中观察到的蛋白质突变。由此产生的详细预测将允许根据相对重要性对突变进行排名，并大大提高目标实验的效率。了解突变的可能功能影响将表明现有疗法更好地使用了现有疗法，并导致发现了新药物的药物开发目标。当转化为临床实践时，有关个人突变概况的详细知识将使个性化的治疗方法。
