Online resources for PCAWG data exploration, visualization, and discovery

The Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) cohort provides a large, uniformly-analyzed, whole-genome dataset. The PCAWG Landing Page (http://docs.icgc.org/pcawg) focuses on four biologist-friendly, publicly-available web tools for exploring this data: The ICGC Data Portal, UCSC Xena, Expression Atlas, and PCAWG-Scout. They enable researchers to dynamically query the complex genomics data, explore tumors’ molecular landscapes, and include external information to facilitate interpretation.
