Description
Summary:Biomedical data are being produced at an unprecedented rate owing to the falling cost of experiments and wider access to genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics platforms1, 2. As a result, public deposition of omics data is on the increase. This presents new challenges, including finding ways to store, organize and access different types of biomedical data stored on different platforms. Here, we present the Omics Discovery Index (OmicsDI; http://www.omicsdi.org), an open-source platform that enables access, discovery and dissemination of omics data sets.
