About CKB



The Genomenon Cancer Knowledgebase (CKB) is a semi-automated/manually curated database of gene/variant annotations, therapy knowledge, diagnostic/prognostic information, and clinical trials related to oncology. CKB not only contains current information on the protein effect of somatic gene variants, but also connects the variant to targeted therapies through an efficacy evidence annotation. In addition, CKB captures clinical trial patient eligibility criteria that include genomic alterations (genotype-specific). The public access version, CKB CORE™, encompasses 50 cancer-related genes, and every quarter a select group of genes are exchanged, focusing on a specific theme. Users can search CKB CORE™ via gene and gene variants. The web-based, subscription version, CKB BOOST™, is designed to interrogate the knowledgebase for specific data attributes while also enabling a robust browse like feature when the desired content is unknown.
