AMP PD Target Explorer Demo for MJFF Data Community

<p>This demo, provided by Victoria Dardov, Ha Duong, Barry Landin, and Dave Vismer of Technome, was hosted by the Michael J. Fox Foundation's Data Community of Practice (DCOP). For more information on the DCOP, please contact: researchcommunity@michaeljfox.org.</p> <p>During this recording, colleagues from Technome provided an overview from the recently released <a href="https://target-explorer.amp-pd.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AMP&reg; PD Target Explorer.</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>AMP&reg; PD (the Accelerating Medicines Partnership Parkinson&rsquo;s Disease) program is a partnership between FNIH, NINDS, NIA, FDA, Abbvie, GSK, Pfizer, Sanofi, BMS, Verily, ASAP and MJFF) generates and consolidates data from eight unified cohorts (BioFIND, HBS, LBD, LCC, PDBP, PPMI, STEADY-PD3 and SURE-PD3). Data was generated using standardized technology and centrally harmonized and quality controlled. All data was generated from samples collected under similar protocols. This data harmonization process and single data use policy facilitates and simplifies cross-cohort analysis.&nbsp;</p> <p>The AMP PD&nbsp;<a href="https://target-explorer.amp-pd.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Target Explorer</a>&nbsp;is a public resource with open access for exploring nominated genes and proteins from AMP PD data that might be implicated in Parkinson's Disease. The Target Explorer integrates many AMP PD work streams focused on identifying new biomarkers and novel drug targets, with the goal of accelerating treatment discovery for patients with Parkinson's Disease.</p> <p>With the Target Explorer, researchers can explore targets from genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics data, contributed by the AMP PD community. Use the Target Explorer to compare your findings with the findings of other researchers by entering your list of potential targets into the search engine to find out where they appear in other researchers&rsquo; analyses.</p> <p>Researchers can also&nbsp;<a href="https://target-explorer.amp-pd.org/become-a-submitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">request to contribute</a>&nbsp;to the target lists and be featured in&nbsp;<a href="https://target-explorer.amp-pd.org/teams" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the teams and lists section.</a>. If you are interested in contributing findings from a recent publication or preprint, you can fill out the form in the&nbsp;<a href="https://target-explorer.amp-pd.org/become-a-submitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Become a Contributor</a> section.</p> <p>To access a streaming copy of this recording with a variable resolution, please <a href="https://share.vidyard.com/watch/2cGHZiPH1fieQWg9APUKaN" target="_blank" rel="noopener">visit this link</a>.</p>
