OCG Programs and Impact

The OCG programs generate and disseminate genomic data and resources for use by the cancer research community. Each OCG program provides systematic approaches to genome-based research, which ultimately impact a wide-range of research projects within the scientific community. OCG programs are interconnected to other genomics and cancer projects thereby extending capabilities and resources to advance the OCG mission to improve cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment.

The chart below provides an overview of all OCG programs and how each program impacts other research projects:
