Dataset annotating different features of human cell lines in biological and biomedical research

Human cell lines are perhaps the go-to tool for initiating studies in many biological and biomedical research fields. While there are many papers to guide neophytes researchers along the journey, many aspects of cell culture and maintenance remain experiential and require months of training in order to obtain reproducible results. What is perhaps lacking is some foundational understanding of the cell lines used in research. This dataset is a cursory effort in this direction that attempts to summarize the key features of common human cell lines in biological and biomedical research. Features documented include organ of origin, disease model, cell type, and purpose of use. It is hoped that this small dataset will help provide the architecture for researchers interested in biomedical problems to also use a similar concept in building their own database on which more discoveries can be made.
