Overview

Bioinformatics software development demonstrates interactive gene expression profiling across large-scale cancer datasets, highlighting streamlined data mining for therapeutic discovery.

Key Points

  • Develop an interactive web-based platform to deliver customizable gene expression analysis using integrated RNA sequencing datasets from TCGA and GTEx.
  • Integrated large-scale RNA sequencing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) projects into a standardized analytical framework.
  • Engineered an interactive web server providing configurable statistical modules for differential expression, survival modeling, gene correlation, and dimensionality reduction.
  • Successfully launched the GEPIA server, supporting fast, interactive visualization, similar gene detection, and patient survival analyses across tumor and matched normal tissues.
  • Provided an accessible, point-and-click tool that bridges the gap between raw genomic big data and functional biological exploration without requiring advanced programming skills.
