DbCRAF: a curated knowledgebase for regulation of radiation response in human cancer.

ABSTRACT: Radiation therapy (RT) is one of the primary treatment modalities of cancer, with 40-60% of cancer patients benefiting from RT during their treatment course. The intrinsic radiosensitivity or acquired radioresistance of tumor cells would affect the response to RT and clinical outcomes in patients. Thus, mining the regulatory mechanisms in tumor radiosensitivity or radioresistance that have been verified by biological experiments and computational analysis methods will enhance the overall understanding of RT. Here, we describe a comprehensive database dbCRAF (http://dbCRAF.xialab.info/) to document and annotate the factors (1,677 genes, 49 proteins and 612 radiosensitizers) linked with radiation response, including radiosensitivity, radioresistance in cancer cells and prognosis in cancer pa
