Better science is open science and shared science. As a researcher in cancer immunomics, I always spend much time in data cleaning in my every project. However, there are a limited number of datasets available for analysis. Most of them are very small with only a few patients/samples, especially for immunotherapy datasets. This causing many works cannot be reproduced or have limited power. Therefore, I create this community mantained project named ImmuneDR to host a curated immune resource database in r format.
I think a curated database can speed up progress of researches in all immune related projects and thus cancer patients have opportunities to earlier benefit from our works. I hope all researchers studying cancer/immunology can search, collect and submit published data to this project and help maintain them.
All data will be stored in GitHub (when less than 1GB) and access methods are provided to everyone for free.
Thanks.

TODO: create an issue template for submission.
TODO: create the first database for immune cell infiltration and treat it as an example to show how to store data and use them.
