The package works alongside DataSHIELD and extends its functionality. We have developed and implemented dsSwissKnife in a large IMI project on type 2 diabetes, RHAPSODY, where data from 10 observational cohorts have been harmonised and federated in CDISC SDTM format and made available for biomarker discovery. Availability and implementation: dsSwissKnife is freely available online at https://github.com/sib-swiss/dsSwissKnife. The package is distributed under the GNU General Public License version 3 and is accompanied by example files and data.{\textless}/p{\textgreater}}, language = {en}, urldate = {2020-11-20}, journal = {bioRxiv}, author = {Dragan, Iulian and Sparso, Thomas and Kuznetsov, Dmitry and Slieker, Roderick and Ibberson, Mark}, month = nov, year = {2020}, note = {Publisher: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Section: New Results}, keywords = {WP2}, pages = {2020.11.17.386813}, }
