Tumors from individuals with cancer are frequently genetically profiled for information about the driving forces behind the disease. We present the CancerMine resource, a text-mined and routinely updated database of drivers, oncogenes and tumor suppressors in different types of cancer. All data are available online ( http://bionlp.bcgsc.ca/cancermine ) and downloadable under a Creative Commons Zero license for ease of use.
