The GDC Uhlenbeck Release includes a new Correlation Plot Tool, link to GeneCards, and other enhancements in the GDC 2.0 Data Portal. Primary features include:
- Correlation Plot Tool: Framework for correlating GDC molecular information (mutation, CNV, gene expression) with clinical and survival data. Includes quick access buttons to compare mutation or CNV status of a gene with a clinical variable or survival, CNV and mutation for given genes, a gene's CNV with its expression, and gene expression level with survival. See the Correlation Plot Tool User's Guide for additional details.
- GeneCards Link: Link to GeneCards, a comprehensive database that integrates genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, functional, and disease-related information to provide detailed profiles of human genes on the GDC Gene Summary page.
This release honors the legacy of George Uhlenbeck, continuing the GDC tradition of celebrating pioneering scientists.
For detailed information, visit the GDC Data Portal Release Notes. Updated documentation and tutorials are available in the GDC 2.0 Data Portal User’s Guide and accompanying GDC 2.0 Video Tutorial.

George Uhlenbeck (1900–1988) was a Dutch-American theoretical physicist best known as the co-discoverer of electron spin, one of the most fundamental concepts in modern quantum mechanics. This discovery was one of the key features of atomic spectra and became central to modern physics. Uhlenbeck later had a long academic career in the United States and made additional contributions to statistical mechanics and stochastic processes.
