Abstract
The GEPIA series has provided robust and widely used tools for pan-cancer analysis of gene expression data. In the post-genomic era, a major challenge lies in deconvoluting complex regulatory relationship influenced by multiple factors and discovering gene-based precision therapeutics. Here we present GEPIA3, an advanced version of GEPIA that provides a comprehensive analysis of gene/protein interactions across various cancer types. This version facilitates the investigation of treatment sensitivity utilizing both real-world patient data and cell line screens for over 1000 therapeutic agents, as well as the integration of RNA alterations derived from the pan-cancer analysis of whole genomes project. GEPIA3 represents a significant enhancement of the original platform, enabling in-depth exploration of gene regulation and cancer phenotypes, thereby supporting the identification of novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
