#DYK we developed and released the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Childhood Cancer Data Catalog as part of a collaboration to develop a Childhood Cancer Data Ecosystem? In June, we released an update for the catalog that added four new datasets from three existing resources and a reorganization of a resource, resulting in a total of 60 resources with 317 datasets. The Center for Technical Operations Support within our Bioinformatics and Computational Sciences program conducts this type of projects. Check out the resource: https://lnkd.in/ebj3ZHdD

Excitement is in the air as we kick off Day 1 of the UD-ATOM Hackathon! We are thrilled to host this dynamic and innovative event along with University of California, San Francisco and University of Delaware (AI Center for Excellence and Data Science Institute), and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The UD-ATOM Hackathon commenced this morning with 70+ participants representing 7 universities, including two HBCUs! The UD-ATOM Hackathon provides an opportunity to solve your drug discovery challenges and contribute to case studies in #AI driven molecular modeling. Interested in learning more about ATOM, visit the ATOM page on the Computational Resources for Cancer Research portal: https://lnkd.in/e5XTFj-D What’s Happening Today: · Kickoff Ceremony: Getting inspired by our keynote speakers. · Team Formation: Meeting and brainstorming with my incredible team. · Workshops: Gaining new skills from expert-led sessions. · Coding Sprints: Diving into the challenges and starting to build our projects. Let’s learn, collaborate, and create something extraordinary. It’s going to be an intense, fun-filled three days of coding, problem-solving, and innovation! 📍 Location: University of Delaware 📅 Dates: July 18-20th Stay tuned for updates, the hackathon winners will be announced on Saturday!

“Like driving a car, to use a microscope, you do not need to know how it works, but you cannot troubleshoot issues if you do not understand the principles behind it.” Dr. Ru-ching Hsia emphasizes the importance of electron microscopy training in this article: https://bit.ly/45XsNvI #ultramicrotomy #CancerResearch #cryoEM

In collaboration with SEQC-II consortium members from FDA, National Cancer Institute (NCI), Illumina and other organizations, our Sequencing Facility Bioinformatics manager Yongmei Zhao contributed to benchmarking the performance of six of the most commonly used CNV calling software tools on their detection accuracy, sensitivity, and reproducibility. The study established a high confident CNV call set for the reference cancer cell line (HCC1395). With performance matrices on various experimental conditions, this study raises awareness within the cancer research community for the selection of sequencing platforms, sample preparation, sequencing coverage, and the choice of CNV detection tools.
