Welcome to the (SUM) Breast Cancer Cell Line Knowledge Base, aka SLKBase
This resource is designed to help breast cancer researchers enhance the power of their research involving the SUM human breast cancer cell lines, as well as over 50 other human breast cancer cell lines, by giving them access to the many omics data sets that have been generated with these cell lines over the years. Whereas I originally developed this resource for users of the SUM breast cancer cell lines, I have recently expanded the resource to include information, data, and data mining tools for 50 other commonly used breast cancer cell lines. As a result, you will now see in the menu bar two different gateway pages; one for the SUM lines and one for 50 other breast cancer cell lines. Note that all of the data mining tools are available for both sets of cell lines.
More recently, I have expanded the knowledge base further as we have added the full complement of genomics, essentiality, and drug sensitivity data for over 900 cancer cell lines of all types to our MySQL database and this has allowed us to launch new data mining tools for all of these cell lines. Please check that out.
Access to the SLKBase requires a user name and password. Everyone should have public access to this home page, and to the SLKBase page, but anything beyond that will require a registration first, and then a log in for future visits to the Knowledge Base. Once you click on any of the other pages, a Login form will appear along with a Registration Form for non-registered users.
Upon registration, you will receive an email from SLKBase@sumlineknowledgebase.com with your user name and a generated password.
After you log in for the first time using the system-generated password, click here to change your password. You do need to be logged in to use this link.
If you encounter ANY problems with the website or if you encounter a broken link, please write me either at ethier@musc.edu or spethier@gmail.com.
Thank you for being part of the (SUM) Breast Cancer Cell Line Knowledge Base!
To make use and navigation of this web site easier, I have recorded several YouTube videos that explain how to use the data mining tools, and describe some recent updates to the web site.
