• The NCI Genomic Data Commons (GDC) provides a single source for data from NCI-funded initiatives and cancer research projects, as well as the analytical tools needed to mine them. The GDC includes data from TCGA, TARGET, and the Genomics Evidence Neoplasia Information Exchange (GENIE). The GDC will continue to grow as NCI and individual researchers and research teams contribute high-quality, harmonized data from their cancer research projects. The GDC provides the cancer genomics repository for projects falling under the NIH Genomic Data Sharing Policy.

• The GDC's Data Analysis, Visualization, and Exploration (DAVE) tools make it easy for cancer researchers to work with GDC data by bringing the information technology infrastructure required for downloading, storing, and analyzing big data directly to researchers. Experts in diverse areas of biology and other disciplines can also use DAVE tools to incorporate cancer genomic data into their research.
