Cancer Genome Anatomy Project (CGAP)

The NCI CGAP is an online resource designed to characterize biological tissues and provide cDNA clones to the research community. To support these outcomes, CGAP provides a wide range of genomic data that include gene expression profiles of normal, precancerous, and cancerous cells (based on expressed sequence tags (EST) and serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE)), single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis of cancer-related genes, and the 50,000+-case Mitelman database of chromosomal aberrations in cancer.

By collaborating with scientists worldwide, CGAP seeks to increase its scientific expertise and expand its databases for the benefit of all cancer researchers. Access to all CGAP data, clones, and analytic tools is made available to the research community through the CGAP web site and distribution system.
