Cancer genome sequencing can reveal thousands of mutations per tumor, but scientists need more data to interpret those variants. Since 2011, members of ӳý's Cancer Genome Analysis team have used Oncotator, a tool for annotating cancer-related variants, resulting in more than 20 publications. In the journal , a team led by ӳý researchers Gad Getz, Alex Ramos, and Lee Lichtenstein announced the first public release of Oncotator, which draws information from 14 publicly available cancer resources and is available as a python , as well as a and stand-alone application.
