We are grateful to researchers for their direct and indirect help in the development of this database. In this database we used information from various resources/databases as well as we used number of software/web services for developing this database. We are grateful to the developers of these databases/software/resources.

Name of Resource/Database/Software Reference or Publications
CCLE: Pharmacological data of 24 drugs tested against 503 cancer cell lines has been taken from CCLE along with the mutational data of drug targets. We acknowledge the developers of CCLE.

CanProVar: CanProVar stores the single amino acid alterations including both germline and somatic variations in the human proteome, especially those related to the genesis or development of human cancer based on the published literatures. We have analysed the CanProVar dataset for most deleterious mutations, to select the cancer vaccine candidates.

BLAST: For fast sequence comparison of drug targets with the user-defined sequence (protein/nucleotide), BLAST software has been used. We acknowledge the BLAST developers.
