In general, the GDC accepts data from human research subjects only, that meet the following guidelines.
Studies should possess one or more of these features that are of high interest to GDC:
If interested in requesting data submission in the GDC, please contact the GDC Help Desk: supportnci-gdc.datacommons.io
The GDC also considers the size of the study when considering submission requests, and employs the following:
Type of Data | Data Examples | Minimum # of Human Specimens (including human cell lines*) |
---|---|---|
DNA sequence data from <100 genes or regions of interest | Targeted Sequencing | 100 |
DNA sequence data from ≥ 100 genes or regions of interest | Targeted Sequencing, Whole Exome Sequencing, Whole Genome Sequencing | 100 |
Genome-wide RNA sequencing data | Transcriptomic Data | 100 |
In future developments, the GDC will support other data types such as methylation, genome-wide association study (GWAS), and others.
Data submitted into the GDC must be compatible with GDC Submitted Data Types and File Formats.
If you feel that your study meets the above data submission conditions and/or possesses features of high interest and is compatible with GDC submitted data types and file formats:
