Updated text to reference Phase 2. 2. Changed "multiplex imaging modalities" to broader term of "spatial profiling" 3. Removed link to HTAN Data Gentle Intro -- as this is likely to be soon outdated. 4. Removed Link to Google Scholar, as we no longer maintain that. --- overview/introduction.md | 8 ++------ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/overview/introduction.md b/overview/introduction.md index cc778cf5..1e43c417 100644 --- a/overview/introduction.md +++ b/overview/introduction.md @@ -6,20 +6,16 @@ order: 1000 The **Human Tumor Atlas Network (HTAN)** is a National Cancer Institute-funded Cancer Moonshot initiative focused on studying the **transitions of human cancers** as they evolve from **precancerous lesions to advanced disease**. -In the current phase of HTAN (phase 1), the network consists of **ten research centers** and a **Data Coordinating Center (DCC)**.
