BROWSE AND QUERY CCLE AND TCGA PROGRAMMATICALLY

We support browsing and querying the CCLE dataset programmatically on the CGC. Use the Datasets API to issue queries sent as API requests in JSON. Or, use the SPARQL query language to issue queries to the SPARQL endpoint: https://opensparql.sbgenomics.com/blazegraph/namespace/tcga_metadata_kb/sparql.

TAG FILES VIA THE API

Previously, we introduced file tagging on the visual interface to facilitate finding and organizing your data. We’ve now added support for interacting with tags via the API.

DOCKERFILES DOCUMENTATION

We've improved our developer documentation to include instructions on how to create and use Dockerfiles, which enables users to efficiently build images containing the tools they want to wrap for use on the CGC.

SEVEN BRIDGES IS PARTICIPATING IN THE DREAM CHALLENGE

We’re launching the next ICGC-TCGA DREAM Somatic Mutation Calling - RNA Challenge (SMC-RNA) on the Cancer Genomics Cloud. The SMC-RNA DREAM Challenge is the latest in a series which develop crowdsourced methods to answer specific scientific questions.

SET METADATA FOR MULTIPLE FILES UPON UPLOAD

Adding metadata to files just got easier. You can now import tabular metadata formats to the CGC and extract and assign metadata based on your manifest file. Learn more about this feature on our Knowledge Center.

IMPROVED ACCESS TO CCLE DATA ON THE CGC

We recently made data from Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) available on the CGC via the CCLE public project.

UPDATED GENOME BROWSER

The genome browser now supports visualization of BAM files aligned with GRCh38 and hg38. Learn more from our documentation.
