Submitting data from your projects to the GDC is beneficial because the GDC:
The GDC provides web-based tools for submitting small volumes of data as well as client tools for submitting high volumes of molecular data.
Organizations interested in submitting data into the GDC must first apply for data submission through the NCBI database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP).
The GDC encourages data sharing in support of precision medicine. Tools are provided to guide data submissions. For more information, please contact the GDC Help Desk:
The GDC provides announcements of new data submitted to GDC.
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.
