Figure 1.. Functionality and Utility of the National Cancer Institute Genomic Data Commons (GDC).
The GDC will accept cancer genomic and clinical data from a number of different sources, harmonize the data using consistent bioinformatic pipelines, and allow users to make discoveries regarding the genetic basis of cancer and its impact in the clinic and potentially to identify patients whose tumor profiles make them eligible for particular clinical trials.
