CFDE Webinar Series

Join us on the last Friday of each month from 1-2 PM Eastern Time to learn more about how the CFDE is harmonizing and discovering new knowledge by integrating datasets, tools and other resources from a collection of NIH Common Fund programs.

  • Improved Methods to Query the LINCS L1000 Data

    Avi Ma'ayan, PhD

    LINCS Data Coordination Center and the CFDE Data Resource Center

    The Library of Integrated Network-Based Cellular Signatures (LINCS) was an NIH Common Fund program that was established to catalog how human cells globally respond to chemical, genetic, and disease perturbations. Resources generated by LINCS include experimental and computational methods, visualization tools, molecular and imaging data, and gene expression signatures. The presentation will cover LINCS datasets, tools, and a newly developed method to query the LINCS L1000 data for better prioritization of drugs, small molecules and single gene perturbations.

    Relevant resources that will be discussed:
    Rummagene: https://rummagene.com/
    SigCom LINCS: https://maayanlab.cloud/sigcom-lincs/
    Playbook Workflow Builder: https://playbook-workflow-builder.cloud/
  • Automatic Mining of Human and Mouse Gene Sets from GEO

    Giacomo Marino

    LINCS Data Coordination Center and the CFDE Data Resource Center

    RummaGEO is a web server application that enables gene expression signature search against thousands of human and mouse RNA-seq studies deposited into GEO. To enable such a search engine, an offline automatic process was established to identify the experimental conditions from uniformly aligned GEO studies available from ARCHS4. Once conditions are identified, differential expression signatures are computed to extract gene sets from these signatures. In total, RummaGEO currently contains 135,264 human and 158,062 mouse gene sets from 23,395 GEO studies. Overall, RummaGEO provides an unprecedented resource for the biomedical research community enabling hypothesis generation for many future studies.
