Database of human DNA Methylation and Cancer (MethyCancer)

Hompage: http://methycancer.psych.ac.cn/

Steps to metadata

1: How do I find the set of (human) datasets that are available?

i) I went to: http://methycancer.psych.ac.cn/MethySearch.do

ii) I selected all data sources (BIG/UN, HEP, MethDB, Columbia University) but left all other fields blank to retrieve a list of all datasets

iii) Clicked Search

NOTE: Source: Columbia Unviersity seems to show reference rather than a dataset.

2: How do I request information on an individual dataset (or maybe a batch of datasets)?

i) Clicking the ID enables you to view a dataset

Such as: http://methycancer.psych.ac.cn/methylationDetail.do?id=1 (Columbia University) or: http://methycancer.psych.ac.cn/methylationDetail.do?id=7904 (HEP)

Clicking ID's shows a 'Methylation Report'

3: Where do I find the dataset attributes?

Accession number: ID [7904]
