The NCI Cloud Resources are components of the NCI Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC) that bring data and computational power together to enable cancer research and discovery. These cloud-based platforms eliminate the need for researchers to download and store large data sets by allowing them to bring analysis tools to the data in the cloud, instead of the traditional process of bringing the data to the tools on local hardware.
Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC)
- Access harmonized, multi-omics cancer data – Data are available in nodes, harmonized and stored in a format that is ready for analysis by the research community
- Store and share data and results – Store and share data across programs and institutions; Create data sets that incorporate data across scientific domains
- Analyze data with innovative research tools – Discover and use innovative research tools and algorithms
- Compute on the cloud – Leverage the elastic compute of the cloud
Datasets Currently Available Through CRDC
- The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)
