LiqBioer

LiqBioer catalogs curated cancer biomarkers detected in body fluids to support diagnostic marker identification and research on liquid biopsy biomarkers.


Key Features:

  • Extensive Data Compilation: Contains 6,231 manually curated records consolidated from 3,447 studies.
  • Biomarker Diversity and Coverage: Documents 3,056 distinct biomarkers across 74 cancer types affecting 22 tissues.
  • Clinical Annotation and Source References: Includes clinical usage annotations and source-study references for each biomarker entry.

Scientific Applications:

  • Clinical diagnosis via liquid biopsy: Provides biomarker data to support identification of diagnostic markers detectable in body fluids.
  • Biomarker validation and early detection: Enables selection and evaluation of candidate biomarkers for early cancer detection and diagnostic validation studies.
  • Research prioritization and study design: Supports researchers in selecting targets and designing studies focused on body fluid biomarkers.
  • Cancer biology and therapeutic research: Facilitates analyses that link fluid-detectable biomarkers to cancer biology and potential therapeutic strategies.

Methodology:

Manual curation and integration of findings from 3,447 published studies to assemble 6,231 records covering 3,056 biomarkers, 74 cancer types, and 22 tissues.
