What Role do Data Repositories and Databases Play?
Data repositories and databases are essential for storing, sharing, and accessing cancer research data. Examples include: - The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA): A comprehensive resource for genomic data. - Genomic Data Commons (GDC): A platform for sharing and analyzing genomic data. - Protein Data Bank (PDB): A repository for 3D structural data of proteins. These resources facilitate collaboration and enable researchers to build on existing knowledge.
