Genomic Datasets for Cancer Research
A variety of datasets from genome-wide association studies of cancer and other genotype-phenotype studies, including sequencing and molecular diagnostic assays, are available to approved investigators through the Extramural National Cancer Institute (NCI) Data Access Committee (DAC).
The Committee is charged with implementing the National Institutes of Health (NIH) data sharing policy for many NCI-supported and -conducted genome-wide association and genomic studies. It reviews all requests from the research community (including NIH intramural staff) for controlled access to genomic data, as well as to other cancer-related datasets for which it is responsible.
