Launch Data Portal

The NCI's Genomic Data Commons (GDC) provides the cancer research community with a repository and computational platform for cancer researchers who need to understand cancer, its clinical progression, and response to therapy.

The GDC supports several cancer genome programs at the NCI Office of Cancer Genomics (OCG), including The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET).

High Quality Data Sharing Enables Precision Medicine

The GDC sources validated datasets from NCI programs that prioritize both the quantity and quality of tissue collection strategies. Data is further enhanced through GDC processes and tools for submitted data validation and harmonization.

Thank you very much for providing such a great dataset to all researchers in the world!
