The CGAP Genetic Annotation Initiative (GAI) is a research program to explore and apply technology for identification and characterization of genetic variation in genes important in cancer.
The GAI effort targets genes. The identification of variation in genes coupled with the development of laboratory assays to characterize this variation will extend the use of genetic approaches to understanding common cancer and its related phenotypes.
The GAI utilizes data mining approaches to identify "candidate" variation from publicly-available DNA sequence data as well as laboratory methods to perform comprehensive searches for variation in cancer-related genes.
All GAI candidate, validated, and confirmed genetic variants are publically available. Access to the variation prediction tools is available through a public server.
