Abstract
The Library of Integrated Network-based Cellular Signatures (LINCS) program is a national consortium funded by the NIH to generate a diverse and extensive reference library of cell-based perturbation-response signatures, along with novel data analytics tools to improve our understanding of human diseases at the systems level. In contrast to other large-scale data generation efforts, LINCS Data and Signature Generation Centers (DSGCs) employ a wide range of assay technologies cataloging diverse cellular responses. Integration of, and unified access to LINCS data has therefore been particularly challenging. The Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) LINCS Data Coordination and Integration Center (DCIC) has developed data standards specifications, data processing pipelines, and a suite of end-user software tools to integrate and annotate LINCS-generated data, to make LINCS signatures searchable and usable for different types of users. Here, we describe the LINCS Data Portal (LDP) (http://lincsportal.ccs.miami.edu/), a unified web interface to access datasets generated by the LINCS DSGCs, and its underlying database, LINCS Data Registry (LDR). LINCS data served on the LDP contains extensive metadata and curated annotations. We highlight the features of the LDP user interface that is designed to enable search, browsing, exploration, download and analysis of LINCS data and related curated content.Entities:

Figure 1.Data flow from LINCS DSGCs into the LDR and LDP. Data are submitted to the DCIC via different tools and then standardized, annotated, and loaded into the LDR. From the LDR, LINCS data are available via different mechanisms.

Figure 2.The LDP Summary Home Page is the entry point of LDP to interactively explore LINCS content based on several categories (http://lincsportal.ccs.miami.edu/dcic-portal/). Here, a specific selection of the KINOMEscan assay by Subject Area > Binding > KINOMEscan is shown, which contains 163 datasets and 147 small molecules.

LINCS Data level definitions, descriptions and examples
| Data Level | Data Type | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Raw | Non-normalized, low-level, single-sample data obtained from assay instrumentation | RNA-Seq FASTQ, L1000 LXB |
| 2 | Processed | Raw data converted to a basic usable format through data processing, including presence or absence of specific molecular abnormalities | KiNativ binding profile, KINOMEScan relative inhibition |
| 3 | Normalized | Normalized, per sample data | L1000 Q2NORM, RNA-Seq raw counts |
| 4 | Signature | Quantified association across samples based on two or more characteristics | RNA-Seq Differential expression profile, L1000 GCTX file |
