NIH unveils comprehensive proteogenomic dataset to help cancer researchers unravel molecular mysteries

What

The �����鶹��Ƶ is releasing a comprehensive dataset that standardizes genomic, proteomic, imaging, and clinical data from individual studies of more than 1,000 tumors across 10 cancer types. Researchers from around the world will be able to use this publicly available resource to uncover new molecular insights into how cancers develop and progress. The dataset was generated by the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) at the �����鶹��Ƶ Cancer Institute, part of the �����鶹��Ƶ.

The pan-cancer proteogenomic dataset, which is described in a , builds on . The launch of this dataset supports the Biden-Harris Administration’s Cancer Moonshot℠ goal of accelerating cancer research through improved sharing of data. Two additional research papers published in Cell by CPTAC investigators provide an initial demonstration of the dataset's potential as a valuable resource for scientific discovery. In the first paper, multi-omic analyses are used to . The second paper delves into to show associations with DNA repair, metabolism, and immunity across different tumor types.

The pan-cancer proteogenomic dataset will be publicly available through the NCI Cancer Research Data Commons repositories. Proteomics data can be accessed via the Proteomic Data Commons at . Genomic and transcriptomic data can be accessed via the Genomic Data Commons at and the Cancer Data Service at .
