GDC Data Processing

Introduction

The GDC draws upon the expertise of collaborators in the development of pipelines supporting data processing including the standardization of associated biospecimen and clinical data, the re-alignment of DNA and RNA sequence data against a common reference genome build, and the generation of derived data. GDC pipelines are implemented using data processing software and algorithms selected in consultation with the expert genomics community.

This section of the website describes the strategies employed by the GDC for processing genomic data along with the software and algorithms used by the GDC in bioinformatics pipelines. Information on GDC processes for standardizing biospecimen and clinical data is also provided
