PAC3R (pronounced “pacer”) guide refers to the documentation for the Platform for Accelerating Collaborative Computational Cancer Research.
What is PAC3R?
PAC3R is a bioinformatics and data-sharing ecosystem designed to help cancer researchers across Florida collaborate. Rather than working in “silos,” researchers use this platform to share:
-
Multi-omics Data: Genomics, transcriptomics, and other complex biological data.
-
Clinical Datasets: Shared data that conforms to high standards (FAIR: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable).
-
Bioinformatics Tools: A common suite of tools to analyze data faster.
What does the PAC3R Guide cover?
-
Registration & Access: How researchers at affiliated institutions can get secure authentication to the platform.
-
PAC3R (Platform for Accelerating Collaborative Computational Cancer Research) guide focuses on the public view of PAC3R excellent for general discovery. Researchers can “dive deep” as a Registered Member for: granular data, collaboration, and analytics
- Open dataset access
