What are the goals of the GDC?

Submitted by Anonymous on

The primary goal of the GDC is to provide the cancer research community with a unified repository and cancer knowledge base supporting cancer genomic studies. The cancer knowledge base enables the identification of low-frequency cancer drivers, assists in defining genomic determinants of response to therapy, and informs the composition of clinical trial cohorts sharing targeted genetic lesions. Working towards this goal, the GDC provides resources supporting the receipt, quality control, integration, storage, and redistribution of standardized cancer genomic data sets derived from cancer studies. Please visit the GDC Overview for additional information.
