This figure shows the mutational spectrum of a sample of tumors from TCGA on a circular plot. By visualizing data in this way, researchers can see the natural groupings of tumors according to where they fall along a mutational spectrum. (Lawrence MS, Stojanov P, Polak P, et al.

We are conducting a survey to assess the compute-intensive resource needs of the cancer research community. Regardless of your area of cancer research, your insights will contribute to a better understanding of computing needs and challenges for research that involves large amounts of data and analysis.
