Software:

proActiv: estimate promoter activity using RNA-Seq data. The proActiv R package is available on https://github.com/GoekeLab/proActiv

Gene and Promoter Annotations:

Gene and promoter annotations used in this study can be downloaded here:

The promoter annotation tables can also be generated from any gtf file using proActiv

Data:

The filtered data is available as supplementary material with the publication: https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(19)30906-7

In addition, the results for all promoters before filtering can be downloaded here:

  • Tissue-Specific Promoters
  • Cancer-Associated Promoters
  • Pan-Cancer-Associated Promoters
  • Multi-Cancer type Promoters
  • Molecular Subtype Promoters
