Since its first mention in the scientific literature in 2004 by Jaffe et al1, the term proteogenomics has been shrouded in mystery and thick technical language. It is a complex idea, but one that is gaining traction as its value to improve our understanding of cancer development and potentially...
Phosphorylation is a key process in the regulation of protein activity and has long been appreciated as an essential mechanism for the control of cellular function - tells a protein where to go, what to bind to and even when to die.
The Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) is pleased to release its newest comprehensive dataset - deep proteomic/phosphoproteomic data and imaging data of Lung Adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patient tumors. The CPTAC...
The Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) is pleased to release its newest comprehensive dataset - deep proteomic/phosphoproteomic data and imaging data of Lung Adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patient tumors. CPTAC has put the final touches on the LUAD proteogenomic dataset and data-mining...
Riding the wave of the future requires scientists to move away from silo-thinking to an inclusive and collaborative mind set. By leveraging the power of crowdsourcing, precisionFDA and NCI-CPTAC teamed up to launch the Multi-omics Enabled Sample...
Analyzing both the entire set of genes and all the proteins produced by colon cancer tissues from patient samples has revealed a more comprehensive view of the tumor that points at novel cancer biological mechanisms and possible new therapeutic strategies.
Is DNA sequencing enough to recommend personalized treatments for cancer patients? In a article published in Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology, CPTAC investigators and colleagues from the Fred Hutch, Baylor College of Medicine, and University of Washington Medicine make the case for...
CPTAC is a comprehensive and coordinated effort to accelerate the understanding of the molecular basis of cancer through the application of robust, quantitative, proteomic technologies and workflows. The overarching goal of CPTAC is to improve our ability to diagnose, treat and prevent cancer....
"Big data" is a term to describe data sets so large or complex that traditional data processing strategies are inadequate. As continued advancements in biomedical technologies generate an increasing amount of patient data, administration of patient-centered care will depend, in part, on the...
In February 2019, the precisionFDA and the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) (in coordination with DREAM Challenges) proudly announced the best performers in the first-ever...
