Common Infrastructure for National Cohorts in Europe, Canada, and Africa

Over the last forty years, we have seen the emergence of increasing numbers of large cohorts of human samples from research and national healthcare initiatives (e.g. UK Biobank, H3Africa). In Europe alone, the BBMRI-ERIC directory lists nearly 600 distinct biobanks with over 100 million samples of biomaterials and genetic data. In Canada there are sixteen biobanks and in Africa, three H3Africa Biorepositories are now ...

ColoPola dataset is Colorectal cancer Polarimetric images dataset

Polarimetric imaging is increasingly used in biological research, such as tissue characterization and cancer detection. To support classification models, this study introduces ColoPola, a publicly available colorectal cancer polarimetric image dataset (288 healthy, 284 malignant), each with 36 images for different polarization states - totaling 20,592 images. Five classification models (CNN, CNN_2, EfficientFormerV2, DenseNet, ...

The Common Workflow Language (CWL) is an open standard for describing analysis workflows and tools in a way that makes them portable and scalable across a variety of software and hardware environments, from workstations to cluster, cloud, and high performance computing (HPC) environments. CWL is designed to meet the needs of data-intensive science, such as Bioinformatics, Medical Imaging, Astronomy, High Energy Physics, and Machine Learning.CWL is developed by a multi-vendor working group consisting ...
