4. Why are some biomarkers assigned a score of 0? Biomarkers with a default score of 0 are manually assigned a 0 score and are pending a manual review. The review of the biomarker can include a spot check, full manual quality checking, NLP based methods, and discussions with the submitter/resource. Until the review is complete the biomarker will keep a score of 0 and after the review is complete the biomarker will be scored using the biomarker score calculator tool.
