The COSMIC search system is a simple text search tool. It returns lists
of all entities that match your search term, using a case-insensitive
text search. These are the results of searching the following fields in
our database:
| Entity |
Fields |
Hits |
| Gene |
Gene name, alternate IDs |
0 hits |
| Mutation |
Gene name, mutation string, alternate IDs |
0 hits |
| SNPs |
SNP ID |
0 hits |
| Cancer |
COSMIC classification, journal article description |
0 hits |
| Tumour site |
Primary tumour site (not including synonyms, such as "colon") |
0 hits |
| Sample |
Sample ID, alternate IDs, tumour site |
43 hits |
| PubMed entry |
PubMed ID, author names, article title |
0 hits |
| Study |
Study ID, project code, description |
0 hits |
Note that the search may return several different types
of data. For example, the search term "brca" will find genes "BRCA1" and
"BRCA2", mutations that occur in genes BRCA1 and BRCA2, samples with
names like "BrCa8", and PubMed entries which mention "brca" in their
indexed text. In order to find all entities (e.g. all tumours sites, all
pubmed entries, all samples) that are connected to your gene of interest
or search term, follow the links in the results table.
