In this site you will be able to set a target disease and obtain a list of genes possible related to the target disease. The genes will be ranked according to a method that involves known evidence and the role of the gene in a network of interrelated genes.
The process starts by obtaining a set of seed genes which are known to be related to the disease. These genes will be obtained from the CBioC database, and you will be able to edit the list before continuing to the next step. If you want you can leave the disease box empty and you can type your own set of seed genes.
