Free-Access Pancreatic Expression Database
Chelala C, Hahn SA, Whiteman HJ, et al. Pancreatic Expression database: a generic model for the organization, integration and mining of complex cancer datasets. BMC Genomics. 2007 Nov 28;8:439. PMID: 18045474
A brilliant concept, brilliantly executed.
From the abstract:
Pancreatic cancer is the 5th leading cause of cancer death in both males and females. In recent years, a wealth of gene and protein expression studies have been published broadening our understanding of pancreatic cancer biology. Due to the explosive growth in publicly available data from multiple different sources it is becoming increasingly difficult for individual researchers to integrate these into their current research programmes. The Pancreatic Expression database, a generic web-based system, is aiming to close this gap by providing the research community with an open access tool, not only to mine currently available pancreatic cancer data sets but also to include their own data in the database.
The open-source database is available at www.pancreasexpression.org.
