SomaScan dataset used to identify protein biomarkers for distinguishing between bacterial and viral infections in febrile children

Protein profiles of children with confirmed bacterial infections (DB), confirmed viral infections (DV) in addition to healthy controls (HC). Protein profiles generated through the SomaScan 1.3k assay (SomaLogic, Colorado, USA). Data has been normalised already, including batch effect correction using COCONUT (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/COCONUT/COCONUT.pdf) and log2 transformed. Accompanying the protein abundance values is a separate .csv file containing information about the proteins, including UniProt ID and Entrez gene IDs associated with the proteins.
