The cBioPortal for Cancer Genomics is a well known, and well loved, interface for interactive analysis of cancer data. It has been developed, maintained and is also heavily used by the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York.

New scientific discoveries increasingly rely on the integration of data from different types of experiments. The Hyve has extensive experience with using the open source tranSMART platform for the storage and analysis of this multi-omics data.

The TranSMART community has been growing at a very rapid pace. It’s seen more success in the last two years than its creators at J&J and Recombinant would have imagined in 2012. In this article, I would like to lay out some perspectives on where[…]

The Hyve has active collaborations with several academic groups in The Netherlands. On 24 and 25 March, we organized a joint workshop with the Molgenis team from UMC Groningen (led by Morris Swertz). We collaborate with Molgenis, amongst others, in[…]

With the recent 'TranSMART 2.0 Architecture Workshop', organized at our The Hyve offices in Utrecht, the basis has been laid for the next phase of tranSMART. The goals for the workshop were formulated as:

When tranSMART was conceived originally by Recombinant at Johnson & Johnson, it was supposed to extend the clinical warehouse I2B2 with biomarker data, such as microarray gene expression data, and allow the both datatypes to be integrated. TranSMART[…]

Notwithstanding the holidays, it has been a great week in publicity for The Hyve. Both revolving around the 'Start-up Kitchen' a great interview with our CEO Kees van Bochove appeared in print in the Dutch Financial Times 'Het Financieele Dagblad'[…]

With the growing popularity of the tranSMART data mart and analysis platform the quality standards for all its modules are continuously rising. The ETL framework (Extract, Transform, Load; the part that reshapes and uploads the data) has been[…]

One of the keys to successful translational medical research is getting the right data to the right people in the right format. Achieving this requires supporting the many relevant data types, ensuring curated data is stored in an easily accessible[…]

The Hyve works in the EMIF project in collaboration with Janssen on a.o. creating the EMIF platform and curating cohort data for Alzheimer Disease and Metabolics. We will regularly post the newsletters of this project.
