TCGA by the Numbers

The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project was led by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). It produced a tremendous amount of data about the genomic characteristics of many different types of cancer. Researchers within and outside the program have used the data to improve tumor classification, find clues for customizing cancer treatments, and much more.
