title: Molecular signatures database (MSigDB) 3.0.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  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.
  
  
  METHODS
  MSigDB is freely available for non-commercial use at http://www.broadinstitute.org/msigdb.
