- Biomarkers Knowledge Environment (Large PDF)
- Biomarkers Reference Laboratories
The Biomarkers Reference Laboratories provide validation and other assistance with biomarkers research.
- Diagnostics and Biomarkers Statistical (DABS) Center. This website assembles resources for education about, application of, and new research on, statistical methods for evaluating diagnostics and biomarkers. The focus is on validation rather than on discovery.
- MALDI Dilution Data. (147 MB Zip file) These data come from a dilution experiment aimed at elucidating which features in MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry data are informative for quantifying peptide content. The details of the experiment are described in Ref[1].pdf.
- Informatics
EDRN develops tools for informatics, computer-based collection, classification, storage, and analysis of knowledge. By connecting research institutions together into a virtual knowledge system, informatics is making it possible for multiple organizations to access, share and analyze data regardless of its location, format, or semantics.
EDRN, through its Data Management and Coordinating Center, NCI, and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory develops two classes of informatics tools, several of which you can download or use online:
- Management Tools. These include:
- Research Tools. These include:
