It significantly expands the range of potential therapeutic targets for anti-cancer treatments. SL interactions are primarily identified through experimental screening and computational prediction. Although various computational methods have been proposed, they tend to ignore providing evidence to support their predictions of SL. Besides, they are rarely user-friendly for biologists who likely have limited programming skills. Moreover, the genetic context specificity of SL interactions is often not taken into consideration. Here, we introduce a web server called SL-Miner, which is designed to mine the evidence of SL relationships between a primary gene and a few candidate SL partner genes in a specific type of cancer, and to prioritize these candidate genes by integrating various types of evidence. For intuitive data visualization, SL-Miner provides a range of charts (e.g. volcano plot and box plot) to help users get insights from the data.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n
