Recurrent data releases allow the GDC to version the data and allow users to reference the GDC version number in publications. GDC currently generates releases as needed, with a release every 2-3 months as a goal.

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.
