Taking pan-cancer analysis global

No authors listed. Nat Genet. 2013 Nov.

Abstract

Although federated cooperation is politically desirable, uniform data quality and standards are essential and should not be reinvented from scratch. The International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) will do well to start with the data standards of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Pediatric Cancer Genome Consortium if it is to succeed in genomic analysis across cancer types.
