I’m working on a multimodal machine learning pipeline that combines image data with structured\/genomic-like data for prediction task. I’m looking for publicly available datasets where MRI\/Image data and Genomic\/Structured data are explicitly paired for the same individual\/subject. My ideal scenario would be human cancer (like Glioblastoma Multiforme, where I know TCGA exists), but given recent data access changes (e.g., TCIA policies), I’m open to other domains that fit this multimodal structure:<\/p>\n
What I’m looking for (prioritized):<\/p>\n
Human Medical Data (e.g., Cancer): MRI\/Image: Brain MRI (T1, T1Gd, T2, FLAIR). Genomic: Gene expression, mutations, methylation. Crucial: Data must be for the same patients, linked by ID (like TCGA IDs).<\/p>\n
I’m aware of TCGA-GBM via TCIA\/GDC, but access to the BraTS-TCGA-GBM imaging seems to be undergoing changes as of July 2025. Any direct links or advice on navigating the updated TCIA\/NIH Data Commons policies for this specific type of paired data would be incredibly helpful.<\/p>\n
Animal Data:<\/p>\n
Image: Animal MRI, X-rays, photos\/video frames of animals (e.g., for health monitoring, behavior).<\/p>\n
Genomic\/Structured: Genetic markers, physiological sensor data (temp, heart rate), behavioral data (activity), environmental data (pen conditions), individual animal ID\/metadata.<\/p>\n
Crucial: Paired for the same individual animal.<\/p>\n
I understand animal MRI+genomics is rare publicly, so I’m also open to other imaging (e.g., photos) combined with structured data.<\/p>\n
Plant Data:<\/p>\n
Image: Photos of plant leaves\/stems\/fruits (e.g., disease symptoms, growth).<\/p>\n
Structured: Environmental sensor data (temp, humidity, soil pH), plant species\/cultivar genetics, agronomic metadata. Crucial: Paired for the same plant specimen\/plot.<\/p>\n
I’m aware of PlantVillage for images, but seeking datasets that explicitly combine images with structured non-image data per plant.<\/p>\n
What I’m NOT looking for:<\/p>\n
Datasets with only images or only genomic\/structured data.<\/p>\n
Datasets where pairing would require significant, unreliable manual matching.<\/p>\n
Data that requires extremely complex or exclusive access permissions (unless it’s the only viable option and the process is clearly outlined).<\/p>\n
Any pointers to specific datasets, data repositories, research groups known for sharing such data, or advice on current access methods for TCGA-linked imaging would be immensely appreciated!<\/p>\n
Thank you!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
