New investigative methods and technologies are yielding information about cancer and its treatment at an overwhelming pace, making it difficult for researchers to build on advances from gene and protein studies, clinical trials, and other work. At present, there is no common mechanism for cancer researchers or research institutions to easily share data and no common standard for the technologies they use.
Developers of the Cancer Bioinformatics Grid (caBIG) hope to solve this problem by creating an open-source, open-access network that
