What is the NCI Genomic Data Commons (GDC)?

Submitted by Anonymous on

The NCI Genomic Data Commons (GDC) is the next generation repository and cancer knowledge base supporting the import and standardization of genomic and clinical data from cancer research programs (e.g. TCGATARGETCGCI), the harmonization of sequence data to the genome / transcriptome, and the application of state-of-the art methods for derived data (e.g. mutation calls, structural variants, etc.).

The NCI part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) established the GDC to provide the cancer research community with a data service supporting the receipt, quality control, integration, storage, and redistribution of standardized cancer genomic data sets derived from cancer studies. Please visit About the GDC for additional information.
