Data on biomarkers are being collected for a wide range of cancers and stored in data sets around the world. Staying abreast of these discoveries can be difficult. OncoMX was designed to give researchers a single source for managing discoveries in cancer mutation and expression biomarkers. A collaborative project between The George Washington University, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, and the University of Delaware, OncoMX offers researchers a centralized, unified, and integrated web resource for tracking and comparing the latest findings on biomarkers to improve cancer detection, prevention, and treatment. This training will demonstrate how to use OncoMX to explore cancer biomarker data, and how to mine existing literature using specifically designed tools and pathways.
