Accessing and managing data across various types and formats can be challenging. The Patient-Centered Information Commons: Standardized Unification of Research Elements (PIC-SURE) is a tool designed to address this challenge by simplifying the exploration and use of diverse data.
PIC-SURE integrates different data types at the participant level, allowing researchers to define inclusion criteria across these diverse data types. This means researchers can combine phenotypic and genomic queries to filter and identify a specific group of participants.
PIC-SURE is available via an Application Programming Interface (API), allowing researchers to use code to search for variables, apply inclusion criteria, and export data. The PIC-SURE API is available in both R and Python, providing flexibility based on the researcher’s needs.
Based on the coding language, the data will be exported as a Python or R data frame. This format allows researchers to kickstart their analysis by applying statistical and analytical functions or packages on this exported data frame.
Go to the Prepare for Analysis tab on BDC-PIC-SURE to learn more about the PIC-SURE API and access additional documentation.
