DECONbench: a benchmarking platform dedicated to deconvolution methods for tumor heterogeneity quantification

Motivation Quantification of tumor heterogeneity is essential to better understand cancer progressionand to adapt therapeutic treatments to patient specificities. Results We present DECONbench, a web-based application to benchmark computational methods dedicated to quantify of cell-type heterogeneity in cancer. DECONbench includes benchmark datasets, computational methods and performance evaluation. It allows submission of new methods. Availability and implementation DECONbench is hosted on the open source codalab competition platform. It is freely available at: https://competitions.codalab.org/competitions/23660 . Supplementary information Additional information is available online and on our website: https://cancer-heterogeneity.github.io/deconbench.html .
