Rare Cancer Explorer 1.0 (RaCE 1.0): a dedicated database and analytical platform focused on rare cancers.

ABSTRACT: Rare cancers face major research challenges due to limited sample sizes and data scarcity. Existing pan-cancer databases mainly focus on common cancer types, while rare cancers often lack sufficient attention and systematic data collection. In addition, their high heterogeneity and the scarcity of studies on genomic features, immune environments, and drug responses lead to significant gaps in current databases and analytical tools. To address these limitations, we developed the Rare Cancer Explorer (RaCE), a dedicated database for integrated curation, analysis, and visualization of rare cancers. RaCE consolidates 5451 samples spanning 13 rare solid tumor types from 69 independent datasets, offering researchers a one-stop data analysis toolkit. The database provides one integrated dataset m
