The Cancer Genome Atlas is a NIH-funded project to catalog genetic mutations
responsible for cancer. It is sequencing 25 tumor types, twelve are already part of the Pan-Cancer data collection shown here.
The mutations are separated by tumor type and annotated with mutation impact.
You can mouse over tracks to see the complete description of the tumor type.
For questions or feedback on the data, please contact the National Cancer Institute Center for Bioinformatics at ncicbiit@mail.nih.gov.
Methods
TCGA somatic mutations in MAF format were downloaded from Synapse and converted to VCF following the instructions
provided by Cyriac Kandoth on BioStars.org. The resulting VCFs were split by sample and
merged again by project with VCF-tools. Conversion and formatting by Maximilian
Haeussler.
