MapMECFS

mapMECFS or mapME/CFS is an American data sharing initiative for ME/CFS, which provides increased data sharing from biological research into the disease ME/CFS. Types of biological data accessible through mapMECFS include:

• Gene expression
• Cytokine assays
• Metabolomics
• miRNA,and
• Methylation

Aims

The mapMECFS website states it aims to enable researchers to gain a "broader view of ME/CFS" by:

• Bringing together the data that researchers have collected across the multiple systems affected by ME/CFS
• Providing a dynamic navigation portal to search across these domains
• Facilitating the integration of complementary data types to offer a new, more complete picture of the disorder
