Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials

Provided by CORE OUTCOME MEASURES IN EFFECTIVENESS TRIALS (COMET)

Comet

COMET stands for the ‘Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials’ Initiative. It has developed a database of all studies relevant to the development of core outcome sets for use in clinical trials. The COMET initiative was set up to help in two main ways:
*to provide the COMET database as a central point where researchers, practitioners and patients can find core outcome sets that have already been developed or are still under development.
* Provide materials to support the teams who are working on core outcome sets

DatabasE of genomiC varIation and Phenotype in Humans

Provided by DATABASE OF GENOMIC VARIATION AND PHENOTYPE IN HUMANS USING ENSEMBL RESOURCES (DECIPHER)

Decipher

DECIPHER is a clinical and research tool used by the clinical community to share and compare phenotypic and genotypic data and to
1. Aid in the interpretation of data from genome-wide analyses e.g. the differentiation between pathogenic and benign genomic variants.
2. Utilise the human reference sequence via Ensembl and other genome browsers to define which genes are involved in a specific structural variant (e.g. copy number variant) and for smaller variants (e.g. sequence variants), whether they are positioned within a gene or regulatory element and predict their likely consequence.
3. Facilitate research into the study of genes that affect human health and development to define new gene-disease and variant-disease associations and to improve diagnosis, management and therapy of rare diseases.

Software Tools Platform to access, analyse and integrate biological data

Provided by ELIXIR

The Tools Platform helps communities find, register and benchmark software tools. These tools help researchers access, analyse and integrate biological data, and so drive scientific discovery across the life sciences.
We maintain information standards for these tools, and produce, adopt and promote best practices for their development. We also:
*connect tools and data services
*link tools to training materials
*make it easy to download, deploy, and benchmark tools for performance
*put tools in the context of the common workflows in bioinformatics, including container technologies and Galaxy.

Life science Data Platform

Provided by ELIXIR

The goal of the ELIXIR Data Platform is to drive the use, re-use and value of life science data. It aims to do this by providing users with robust, long-term sustainable data resources within a coordinated, scalable and connected data ecosystem. Bioinformaticians and life science researchers in both academic and industrial settings need confidence in the sound governance, life cycle management, and long-term sustainability of those data resources.
Platform highlights
ELIXIR Core Data Resources: European data resources that are of fundamental importance to research in the life sciences and are committed to the long-term preservation of data.
ELIXIR Deposition Databases: repositories recommended for the deposition of life sciences experimental data.
Data resource services: this list is updated as Nodes finalise or review their Service Delivery Plans
