Single-cell transcriptome sequencing technology has been applied to decode the cell types and functional states of immune cells, revealing their tissue-specific gene expression patterns and functions in cancer immunity. Comprehensive assessments of immune cells within and across tissues will provide us with a deeper understanding of the tumor immune system in general. Here, we present Cross-tissue Immune cell type or state Enrichment analysis of gene lists for Cancer (CIEC), the first web-based application that integrates database and enrichment analysis to estimate the cross-tissue immune cell type or state.

A complex and vast biological network regulates all biological functions in the human body in a sophisticated manner, and abnormalities in this network can lead to disease and even cancer. The construction of a high-quality human molecular interaction network is possible with the development of experimental techniques that facilitate the interpretation of the mechanisms of drug treatment for cancer. We collected 11 molecular interaction databases based on experimental sources and constructed a human protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and a human transcriptional regulatory network (HTRN).
