Welcome to the SUM Cancer Cell Line Knowledge Base, aka SLKBase
Originally designed to support research using SUM human breast cancer cell lines, the SLKBase has evolved into a leading Cancer Cell Line Database for the oncology research community. Sextant Oncology LLC provides researchers with access to a wide range of data, including functional genomics information for 50 additional breast cancer cell lines. The database is organized into two gateways: one dedicated to SUM lines and another covering general breast cancer models, making it easy to navigate and explore specific datasets.
The SLKBase has recently expanded to include a comprehensive collection of genomics, essentiality, and drug sensitivity data for over 900 cancer cell lines across all cancer types. All datasets are integrated into a MySQL database, offering a structured, reliable, and scalable platform for research. A suite of advanced data mining tools allows users to perform detailed queries and analyses efficiently.
This comprehensive resource is designed to help researchers accelerate discovery and better understand cancer biology. By providing detailed and curated datasets in a user-friendly format, the SLKBase ensures scientists have access to critical information. Explore this robust Cancer Cell Line Database to support your research projects and gain valuable insights into cancer cell line genomics, functional biology, and innovation today.
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.
To make the SLKBase easier to use, I’ve created a series of YouTube videos that demonstrate our data mining tools. I recommend starting with the Introductory Navigation Video (also available for direct download in the Data Download Center).
For a complete description of all that the SLKBase has to offer, check out the SLKBase page.
