Description: Welcome to EBV-GCR suite of tools, which allows a wide variety of statistical comparisons for cellular miRNA and mRNA expression patterns for the gastric carcinoma (GC) dataset. The primary focus of EBV-GCR is to explore the impact of EBV status on this common human cancer type. These analysis and visualization tools are intended specifically as a resource for those working in the field of HPV dependent cancers and should not require any significant computational or bioinformatics expertise. The EBV-GCR suite consists of 6 different tools, which allow the exploration of differential mRNA/miRNA expression, gene loci methylation, overall patient survival, changes in immune landscape features, and single-cell mRNA/miRNA expression as a function of EBV status and viral miRNA expression in primary human GC.
