Collaborative projects such as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) have generated various -omics and clinical data on cancer. Many computational tools have been developed to facilitate the study of the molecular characterization of tumors using data from the TCGA. Alternative splicing of a gene produces splicing variants, and accumulating evidence has revealed its essential role in cancer-related processes, implying the urgent need to discover tumor-specific isoforms and uncover their potential functions in tumorigenesis.We developed TSVdb, a web-based tool, to explore alternative splicing based on TCGA samples with 30 clinical variables from 33 tumors. TSVdb has an integrated and well-proportioned interface for visualization of the clinical data, gene expression, usage of exons/junctions and splicing patterns. Researchers can interpret the isoform expression variations between or across clinical subgroups and estimate the relationships between isoforms and patient prognosis. TSVdb is available at http://www.tsvdb.com , and the source code is available at https://github.com/wenjie1991/TSVdb .TSVdb will inspire oncologists and accelerate isoform-level advances in cancer research.
