This release signifies the official launch of GDC 2.0  and the retirement of the legacy GDC Data Portal (1.0).

GDC releases are named alphabetically in honor of distinguished scientists and their significant research contributions. The GDC 2.2 McClintock Release was named after Barbara McClintock.
