Genomic Data Commons (GDC)

The NCI's Genomic Data Commons (GDC) provides the cancer research community with a unified data repository that enables data sharing across cancer genomic studies in support of precision medicine.

The GDC supports several cancer genome programs at the NCI Center for Cancer Genomics (CCG), including The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET).

Navigating the GDC - A Case Study is a workshop which helps users to learn GDC tools and data types available to support cancer genomic study.

Molecular data available in GDC.
