Molecular Analysis Tools Knowledge Center Columbia University and The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard Aris Floratos, Columbia University June, 2008
Integrative Cancer Research WS • The primary mission of the Integrative Cancer Research (ICR) Workspace is to • Develop and integrate tools to store, link, and analyze diverse data resources in order to enable translational and integrative research, • Engage and grow an adopter community that implements these solutions, and • Foster a collaborative culture to collect, integrate, share, and consume data • ICR supports the bench to bedside continuum for improved diagnostic and prognostic tools and therapies • Provide integrated access to clinical data, genetic data, pathology and laboratory data, proteomic data, population data, clinical outcomes data • The primary mission of the Integrative Cancer Research (ICR) Workspace is to • Develop and integrate tools to store, link, and analyze diverse data resources in order to enable translational and integrative research, • Engage and grow an adopter community that implements these solutions, and • Foster a collaborative culture to collect, integrate, share, and consume data • ICR supports the bench to bedside continuum for improved diagnostic and prognostic tools and therapies • Provide integrated access to clinical data, genetic data, pathology and laboratory data, proteomic data, population data, clinical outcomes data
Supported Tools geWorkbench (http://www.geworkbench.org) • Component-based integrative analysis platform with 70+ components. • Integration of large number of data domains (sequence, expression, literature, network, structure). GenePattern (http://www.genepattern.org) • Modular analysis platform for genomic data with 90+ components. • Powerful scientific workflow framework, web-based. caArray (http://caarray.nci.nih.gov/) • Web and programmatically accessible array data management system. • MIAME compliant. caIntegrator (http://caintegrator-info.nci.nih.gov/) • Novel informatics platform supporting translational informatics. • Integration and aggregation of clinical, genomic, analysis data.
Knowledge Center Mission • End-user support via forums and mailing lists • Maintaining technical and end-user documentation • Collecting, analyzing, communicating to ICR enhancement requests from the user community • Facilitating open-source community development • Dissemination and training • Developing and maintaining informative web presence
Experience • Developers of geWorkbench (Columbia) • Developers of GenePattern (Broad) • Adoption of caArray • Integration of caArray in geWorkbench and GenePattern • Adoption of caIntegrator and programmatic extensions • ICR WS participants and Working Group leaders (Workflow and Analytical Services Best Practices WGs)
