The NCI's Genomic Data Commons (GDC) provides the cancer research community with a unified data repository that enables data sharing across cancer genomic studies in support of precision medicine.
The GDC supports several cancer genome programs at the NCI Center for Cancer Genomics (CCG), including The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET).
The GDC obtains validated datasets from NCI programs in which the strategies for tissue collection couples quantity with high quality.
The GDC encourages data sharing in support of precision medicine. Tools are provided to guide data submissions by researchers and institutions.
