Molecular signatures database (MSigDB) 3.0

MOTIVATION Well-annotated gene sets representing the universe of the biological processes are critical for meaningful and insightful interpretation of large-scale genomic data. The Molecular Signatures Database (MSigDB) is one of the most widely used repositories of such sets. RESULTS We report the availability of a new version of the database, MSigDB 3.0, with over 6700 gene sets, a complete revision of the collection of canonical pathways and experimental signatures from publications, enhanced annotations and upgrades to the web site. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION MSigDB is freely available for non-commercial use at http://www.broadinstitute.org/msigdb.
