The NCI Genomic Data Commons (GDC) was established by the NCI Center for Cancer Genomics (CCG) to support the receipt, harmonization, distribution, and analysis of genomic and clinical data from cancer research programs. The GDC provides the cancer research community with a repository and computational platform for cancer researchers who need to understand cancer, its clinical progression, and response to therapy. The GDC accomplishes this by harmonizing raw sequence data against a common reference genome (GrCH38), applying state-of-the-art methods for generating high-level data such as mutati… [learn more]

Proteomic Data Common (PDC) represents the NCI’s largest public repository of proteogenomic comprehensive tumor datasets, essentially a Proteogenomic Cancer Atlas. It was developed to advance our understanding of how proteins help shape the risk, diagnosis, development, progression, and treatment of cancer. The objectives are (1) to make cancer-related proteomic data sets easily accessible to the public, and (2) facilitate multi-omic integration in support of precision medicine through interoperability with other resources. The PDC uses a cloud-based approach by storing all data sets with Am… [learn more]

The NIH Biowulf Cluster provides researchers with a world-class system to assist in solving complex biomedical problems as diverse as gene variation in worldwide human populations, deep learning to model protein structures, and PET brain scan processing to identify plaques associated with Alzheimer’s disease. The Biowulf cluster requires an HPC account and a justification describing the computational requirements of the proposed research project. Customer Benefits: The Biowulf cluster comprises over 105,000 cores communicating over dedicated high-speed networks and utilizing shared file… [learn more]
