Strategies for annotation and curation of translational databases: the eTUMOUR project.

The eTUMOUR (eT) multi-centre project gathered in vivo and ex vivo magnetic resonance (MR) data, as well as transcriptomic and clinical information from brain tumour patients, with the purpose of improving the diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of future patients. In order to carry this out, among other work, a database--the eTDB--was developed. In addition to complex permission rules and software and management quality control (QC), it was necessary to develop anonymization, processing and data visualization tools for the data uploaded.

A multi-centre, web-accessible and quality control-checked database of in vivo MR spectra of brain tumour patients.

Objective: To describe an Internet-accessible database that contains validated in vivo MR spectra and clinical data of brain tumour patients.

Materials And Methods: All data from patients entering the INTERPRET project (International Network for Pattern Recognition of Tumours Using Magnetic Resonance, View Article and Find Full Text PDF
