## What it is
cBioPortal is an open-source web application for visualization, analysis, and download of large-scale cancer genomics datasets. This repository contains the Java backend, with a separate frontend repo, deployable via Docker and backed by ClickHouse (v7) or MySQL (v6).

## Use cases
- explore and visualize large-scale cancer genomics data
- host a private instance of a cancer genomics portal
- analyze genomic alterations across tumor samples
- download cancer genomics datasets for research
- build precision medicine tools on top of genomics data

## When to choose
- you need a proven, self-hostable platform for exploring cancer genomics data
- you want interactive visualization and analysis of mutation, CNA, and clinical data
- you are a research lab or hospital deploying a private genomics portal

## When to avoid
- you need general-purpose bioinformatics pipelines rather than data exploration
- you want a lightweight library to embed in another app rather than a full web application
- you rely on v6 MySQL workflows and need active feature development

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: data-visualization, analytics, search-engine, api-framework, http-server
- domain: bioinformatics, healthcare, data-visualization, analytics, self-hosted
- platform: jvm, self-hosted, cross-platform
- tags: cancer-genomics, precision-medicine, genomics, clickhouse, scientific-software, research, docker, web-server
