SigCom LINCS
A search platform for LINCS L1000 gene-expression signatures of chemical and genetic perturbations.
What SigCom LINCS is
SigCom LINCS is a genomics database and search system indexing LINCS L1000 gene-expression signatures. It provides access to signature profiles derived from chemical and genetic perturbations.
The resource allows computational and biomedical researchers to query and explore gene-expression patterns associated with specific experimental perturbations.

Questions
Can I search SigCom LINCS without writing code?
Yes. The research agent queries SigCom LINCS directly, with no account or API key, and cites the record behind every answer. Ask in plain language — for a gene, a protein, a compound or a study — and it builds the query for you.
Can I reuse data from SigCom LINCS?
No explicit licence stated; LINCS program data are released for public research use. Checked 2026-10-20: neither SigCom LINCS nor its API states a licence. Cite the LINCS dataset and SigCom LINCS (Evangelista et al., NAR 2022). Terms: https://lincsproject.org/LINCS/data/release-policy
