The Next Generation Cancer Knowledge Network
Cases by Major Primary Site
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).
High Quality Data Sharing Enables Precision Medicine
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.
Analyze Data
The GDC Data Analysis, Visualization, and Exploration (DAVE) Tools allow users to interact intuitively with the GDC data and promote the development of a true cancer genomics knowledge base.
Access Data
The GDC Data Portal provides a platform for efficiently querying and downloading high quality and complete data. The GDC also provides a GDC Data Transfer Tool and a GDC API for programmatic access.
Submit Data
The GDC provides tools to guide data submission including the GDC Data Submission Portal, a web-based tool for submitting clinical, biospecimen and small volumes of molecular data as well as the GDC Data Transfer Tool, a client-based tool for submitting large, high volume molecular data. A secure GDC API is also available for batch data submissions.
For Developers
The GDC provides a secure GDC API for integrating with NCI's cancer knowledge network:
