Genomics and clinical data at your fingertips with open source software tranSMART & cBioPortal

The CORBEL webinar series continues with a presentation by Jan-Willem Boiten, programme manager at Lygature and Menno de Vries, data manager at the Netherlands Cancer Institute.

The propelling importance of genomics data in present-day health research is not yet supported with user-friendly software solutions that expose these data in a manner easily appreciated by clinical researchers. Clearly, there is a need for tools that integrate genomics and other molecular biology results with the phenotypic and clinical outcome data. This webinar presents an overview of such data tools that are used in the Dutch context and how they have been implemented in practice, including projects that are supported by CORBEL WP3. Two widely used open-source solutions specifically, tranSMART and cBioPortal, will be demonstrated:

This webinar intends to give a flavor of the potential of these solutions in practical translational research. For those scientists interested in a functional and/or technical deep-dive, a CORBEL training will be scheduled for later this year.

CORBEL webinars include an audience Q&A session during which attendees can ask questions and make suggestions.
