The latest NCI Genomic Data Commons (GDC) monthly webinar explores its data sets and how to access them.
As the genomic data-specific repository within NCI’s Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC), the GDC provides cloud-based access to genomic data and more than 1,000 tools and workflows for data analysis.
During this webinar, Ms. Sharon Gaheen and Biju Issac, Ph.D., will:
- Provide an overview of the programs and projects that provide data to the GDC, including The Cancer Genome Atlas and other landmark projects
- Review GDC data types available in the GDC
- Demonstrate how to access the different types of data from supported programs in the GDC
Learn more about the GDC and how to leverage the complementary proteomics and imaging data for GDC studies within the CRDC by visiting datacommons.cancer.gov.
