Mastermind vs. Manually Curated Databases: Head-to-Head Comparison with COSMIC Variant Database
Mastermind’s Genomic Search Engine uncovers 594% More Articles per Variant and 63% More Variants per Gene in a head-to-head test against COSMIC variant database. The Mastermind Genomic Search Engine has a number of meaningful advantages over the Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer (COSMIC) as a tool for searching genomic evidence, reducing the amount of time required to curate variants and resulting in fewer missed articles containing evidence for the variant.
