Data collection involves sequencing the genomes of both cancerous and normal tissues from the same patient. Advanced sequencing technologies, such as next-generation sequencing (NGS), are employed to generate high-resolution genomic data. The data is then stored in publicly accessible databases, such as the ICGC Data Portal, where it is curated, annotated, and made available to researchers worldwide. Strict ethical guidelines and patient consent protocols are followed to ensure the privacy and confidentiality of patient data.
