Abstract:The goal of the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) is to analyze the cancer genomes of at least 500 tumour samples with matched controls from 50 different cancer types and subtypes, building a comprehensive catalogue of somatic abnormalities for the benefit of the research community. The amount of data ICGC members will generate is close to that of 50,000 human genome projects and, to date, has received commitments for 107 projects to study more than 27,000 tumor genomes.
