[cBioPortal update] new features: cross cancer expression and direct query from study view page

[JianJiong Gao]

We are very excited to announce that we have updated the cBioPortal for Cancer Genomics (http://cbioportal.org/) with two new features and performance improvements.

• New features:
  • Visualization of RNA-seq expression levels across TCGA studies (cross-cancer queries)
    
  • Selection of genes in the study view to initiate queries
    
• Improvement:
  • 3-D structures in the "Mutations" tab are now rendered by 3Dmol.js (previously JSmol)
  • Improvement performance by code optimization and compressing large data by gzip

Best regards,
The cBioPortal Team
