Resource description
Project Title: Pilot Project for a WADA Bioinformatics Core Facility
Researchers: R. Bhasker, S. Subramaniam
Institution: University of California San Diego, California, USA
Year accepted: 2007
Summary: Many studies are being carried out to develop methods for identifying exposure to growth factors such as human growth hormone, IGF1 and other related factors with potential application in sport doping. To date no concerted effort has been made to collate and compare these large data sets and results to identify factors common to these studies that would represent the markers most likely to be informative in a drug testing setting. We propose to carry out a pilot informatics study to compare results from several completed and on-going WADA-sponsored studies.
