PDX Minimum Information Standard
The PDX Minimal Information document represents the results of a broad community effort to develop a standard regarding the essential information needed to describe a PDX model. This work was published in the dedicated informatics issue of Cancer Research (Nov. 2017) and is serving as the basis for the PDX Finder’s comprehensive search and attribute filtering options (e.g., tumor histology, molecular variant, drug response). The minimal information standard will be an evolving resource based on community feedback.
Comments about the standards are welcome and can be sent to MGI User Support Be sure to include “PDX MI” as the Subject.
