Cancer Cell. 2020 Dec 14;38(6):757-760. doi: 10.1016/j.ccell.2020.09.006. Epub 2020 Sep 24.

Abstract

Cancer biomarker research has become a data-intensive discipline requiring innovative approaches for data analysis that can combine traditional and data-driven methods. Significant leveraging can be done transferring methodologies and capabilities across scientific disciplines, such as planetary science and astronomy, each of which are grappling with and developing similar solutions for the analysis of massive scientific data.
