EXCERPT

The push to cure cancer has, to paraphrase Neil Armstrong, taken one giant leap forward with the launch of the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Genomic Data Commons (GDC), which was officially unveiled June 6 at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.

Part of the National Cancer Moonshot Initiative, the data sharing platform will support precision medicine efforts by enabling the access, standardization, analysis, and submission of cancer genomic data.
