Luigi-Genome This database contains more than 7,000 cases from 32 cancer types with genomic features and clinical information included in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Additionally, registered users can use a function for somatic mutation prediction. - TCGA: The histopathological images of Luigi are in whole or part based upon data generated by the TCGA Research Network: http://cancergenome.nih.gov/. - cBioPortal: Cerami et al.
