The Signaling Pathways Project (SPP) Knowledgebase featured in PLOS Collections Blog in April, 2020!

dkNET Hypothesis Center - the Signaling Pathways Project (SPP) knowledgebase is featured in PLOS Collection Blog on April 14, 2020. Dr. Neil McKenna, Director of SPP, collaborated with the PLOS Collections and launched a new PLOS collection. Users can now connect SPP datasets with their associate PLOS article in the PLOS "Omics of Cellular Signaling Pathways Collection". 

Here is some introductory information from the SPP Collections blog article:

"SPP is a multi-omics knowledgebase based upon public, manually curated transcriptomic and cistromic (ChIP-Seq) datasets involving genetic and small molecule manipulations of cellular receptors, enzymes, transcription factors and co-nodes, as well as model and clinical datasets. The goal is to create a resource where scientists can routinely generate research hypotheses or validate bench relevant to cellular signaling pathways.

In this collaboration, SPP biocurators identify articles from PLOS titles that contain publically archived transcriptomic and ChIP-Seq datasets, which are in turn committed to the SPP biocuration pipeline. PLOS articles are listed alongside the SPP version of the dataset, giving readers one-click access to a universe of information through a single Collection."
