BiomarkerKB collects data from many different resources. The data that is collected is not always directly integrated into the data model and data from a resource is sometimes just added as valuable contextual annotations or cross references.

Other resources to be explored: CADSR Cancer, https://themarker.idrblab.cn/, biomarker.org, ResMarkerDB, SalivaDB, https://glycanage.com/publications, https://www.c, Glycan Biomarkers (code), Alliance Genome
