The PLCO Atlas allows investigators to browse and access germline genetic association data from the PLCO Screening Study via the Genome-Wide Association Study Explorer.

Researchers seeking potential targets for treating childhood cancers now have an even better tool for the job. Check out the latest enhancements to the NCI Childhood Cancer Data Initiative’s (CCDI’s) Molecular Targets Platform.

CCDI additions include molecular characterization data from childhood cancer patients of racial and ethnic diversity.

NCI-funded researchers validated a genome-wide artificial intelligence technology that could help in early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma—the most common type of liver cancer.

Data analysis of the DNA, RNA, protein, and phosphoprotein in lung adenocarcinoma cells connected molecular features of tumors with patient survivability. This study allowed researchers to better predict prognosis and treatment in lung cancer patients.

Explore the newly released pediatric data set that includes information on DNA/RNA sequencing, methylation arrays, and deidentified clinical reports.
