This tool was designed as a joint project between the Office of the Director, Division of Clinical Sciences, National Cancer Institute (DCS/NCI), the Biometric Research Branch, Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program, Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis, National Cancer Institute (BRB/CTEP/DCTD/NCI), and the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania(HUP) with assistance from the Bioinformatics and Molecular Analysis Section, Computational Bioscience and Engineering Laboratory, Center for Information Technology, National Institutes of Health ( BIMAS/CBEL/CIT/NIH) and the Biophysical Pharmacology Group, Division of Basic Sciences, National Cancer Institute (BPG/DBS/NCI). We are grateful for help from the informatics staff of the Mouse Genome Database Project at the Jackson Laboratories.
