A big biobank consisting of patient-derived central nervous system tumor biopsies is being developed and utilized for the establishment of a DNA methylation-based tumor classification (https://www.molecularneuropathology.org/mnp). An integrated online tool allows researchers to upload their methylome data, which is then automatically compared to methylation data of a reference cohort comprising over 2800 neuropathological tumors.
