Cancer Genomics Hub adds childhood cancer data
Researchers studying the genetics of childhood cancers now have access to a large and growing set of genomic data through the Cancer Genomics Hub (CGHub) operated by the University of California, Santa Cruz. The data come from a National Cancer Institute (NCI) initiative called TARGET (Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments), which aims to determine the molecular changes that drive the development and progression of five major types of childhood cancer.
