Genomic Data Commons

The Genomic Data Commons (GDC) is a secure online platform that collects, stores, and shares large-scale genetic information from cancer research. It helps scientists and doctors access and analyze genomic data to better understand, diagnose, and develop treatments for cancer. By providing a centralized resource, the GDC promotes collaboration and accelerates discoveries, ultimately aiming to improve patient outcomes. Think of it as a specialized library for genetic information related to cancer, accessible to authorized researchers worldwide.
