Access Data

Does the GDC provide access to follow-up (i.e. longitudinal) data?

Submitted by Anonymous on

The availability of follow-up data is specific to the project and associated study.

For the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) Clinical Outcomes in Multiple Myeloma to Personal Assessment of Genetic Profile (CoMMpass) study, longitudinal information was generated to track patients over the course of their disease. This data is available in the GDC by viewing the clinical follow-up data available for download on each case page in the GDC Data Portal or by querying the GDC API.

How can I download BAM index files (BAI files) using the API?

Submitted by Anonymous on

BAI files are included with the download when using the GDC Data Transfer Tool to download BAM files. 

When using the API to download BAM files, BAI files will only be included if the related_files=true parameter is specified together with the BAM UUID, for example:
