One goal of EUCANCan is to enable the sharing of genomic data within and across institutions in Europe and Canada. In order to effectively and accurately compare data on mutations of the genome, different institutions must harmonize their variant calling strategies and how they structure the results of their variant calling pipelines. Aiding this process […]

After two years of intense work, Philippe Hupé of Institut Curie in Paris, France, and his team published the geniac documentation this summer. Geniac’s public webpage provides a comprehensive set of guidance documents and tools that help bioinformaticians and statisticians to harmonize how they prototype, develop and manage pipelines to analyze high-throughput data.  Philippe Hupé […]

Clinical trial recruitment can be a cumbersome task. More efficient matching of patients to clinical trials can speed up science and make it easier for patients to enrol in the trials best suited to their condition. This is where Onco Trials Tracks comes into play. The platform aims to simplify the recruitment of patients to […]
