About this Class

The Genomic Data Commons is releasing a new Correlation Plot Tool which provides a framework for correlating GDC molecular information (mutation, CNV, gene expression) with clinical and survival data. Using quick access features, researchers can compare mutation or CNV status of a gene with a clinical variable or survival, CNV and mutation for given genes, a gene's CNV with its expression, and gene expression level with survival. The tool assists in identifying statistically meaningful correlations between genomic variants and clinical phenotypes to uncover patterns that assist in enabling diagnostic and treatment discoveries. Join us for an overview and demonstration of the GDC Correlation Plot Tool, and associated data supporting correlative analysis.
