Therefore, there is an urgent need to effectively organize the data, cross-link the datasets across 'omics and clinical studies as part of the translational research roadmap, facilitate integration with legacy data, and allow seamless query across different types of data to gain research insight and accelerate research [ 2].
AG designed the study, linked the datasets, extracted data and drafted the final paper.
To avoid unnecessary matching processes, a staged approach was employed which progressively linked the datasets two at a time.
Nonetheless the databases will be securely stored in password-protected files and after linking the datasets, the clinical identifiers will be deleted, rendering the data anonymous.
The order of linking the datasets was based on the availability of additional data for linkage and the quality of the linkage data.
We wish to acknowledge the NSW Ministry of Health and NSW Central Cancer Registry in maintaining the population health data and the NSW Centre for Health Record Linkage for linking the datasets.
Linking the datasets is not routine, and requires approval from a properly constituted ethics committee (see [ 5]) and permission from all relevant data custodians.
B) Created a direct iVirus link for the datasets.
Amongst the six TFs enriched in the SEREX-ovarian dataset, however, four, namely GATA1, MYOD, IK1 and HIF1, were also found in the Meta-UP dataset, indicating a weak link between the datasets with respect to transcriptional regulation.
A copy of an article published by the researchers outlines how every single Medicare data code was able to be reidentified by linking the dataset with other available information.
