How
is RAAR organized?
RAAR is organized
according to 2 levels of information for genes involved in regulation of AR
signaling:
1.
An
up-to-date listing of genes involved in pre-receptor and post-receptor level
regulation of AR signaling
2.
For
each gene listed in RAAR, a compendium of links to databases is given that provides
user-friendly and ready-to-use comprehensive information on gene function,
clinical relevance, and availability of technical resources
What
content does RAAR offer?
1.
RAAR
currently contains 55 pre-receptor and 274 post-receptor entries.
2. For these entries, RAAR gives access
to information at 3 different levels:
a. pre-receptor level: 24 databases
b. post-receptor level: 25 databases
c. additional resources level: >100
databases
How
is RAAR data (access) set up?
RAAR
entries are entered using their official gene symbol.
An
RAAR entry is included in the section that best fits its function.
RAAR
entries are listed in alphabetical order in the pre-receptor and post-receptor
tabs.
Individual
databases are listed in same order at the pre-receptor and post-receptor tabs.
The
database order reflects grouping based on database content: gene function,
clinical relevance and availability of resources.
Hyperlinks
provide direct access to RAAR entry-specific information in the databases
Hyperlinks
that take the user directly to the homepage of the respective database are
included in Other Resources database.
2
databases, Oncomine and SNPper, are included that require the user to log-in. For
RAAR users who are not yet registered, RAAR has included a log-in and password
for convenience:
SNPper: username: RAARuser and password:
password1
Oncomine: userID: [email protected] and password: password1
Hyperlinks
take the user either to an overview of general information that the database
contains for that RAAR entry, or in select cases, to prostate cancer-specific
information.
If
a database returns multiple hits for an RAAR entry, the hyperlink takes the
user to the "standard reference," which is usually the transcript or isoform
version that corresponds to the longest coding sequence.
If
no content for the RAAR entry is available in external databases, the RAAR results
page reports "no information".
RAAR
content is curated manually, at least every 3 months. Updates and additions are
included as they become available.
