How Does GDC Ensure Data Quality and Standardization?
To ensure high data quality and standardization, the GDC employs rigorous data processing and harmonization protocols. Data submitted to the GDC undergoes a series of quality checks and is transformed into standardized formats. This process includes alignment to reference genomes, variant calling, and annotation. By standardizing the data, the GDC ensures consistency and reliability, making it easier for researchers to perform comparative analyses.
