CancerEST was developed as a user-friendly and intuitive web-based tool for the automated identification of candidate cancer makers/target potential as well as to obtain comprehensive expression profiles and information about the tissue specificity for genes of interest to biologists/clinicians. It operated by constructing and meta-analyzing expressed sequence tag (EST) profiles of user-supplied gene sets across an EST database to provide insights into tissue specificity and other relevant data. It is useful in understanding gene behavior in cancer research. The tool is limited to consider analysis of complex relationships between genes and cancer markers. Additionally it uses the EST database, underscoring the comprehensiveness and accuracy of findings
