About this Class
The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) was a landmark cancer genomics program that molecularly characterized over 20,000 primary cancer and matched normal samples spanning 33 cancer types. This resulted in a massive open-source dataset that continues to uncover revelations regarding the molecular underpinnings of various cancers. This BTEP Coding Club session demonstrates how to access and download TCGA data from the Genomic Data Commons (GDC). Other means of accessing, analyzing, and downloading TCGA data will also be discussed.
