  • TCGA data access

    I have read various posts including thsi one about TCGA-
    Discussion of next-gen sequencing related bioinformatics: resources, algorithms, open source efforts, etc

    I never had my luck in accessing the TCGA data. However I recently read one post- http://www.biostars.org/p/80764/
    which kind of support my views also. I would like to see if other members also had similar difficulties and experience with TCGA data. I at least agree with one point that in the spirit of public access mechanism of data for controlled access no one of the grp involved in generating data should be involved at least it should be and independent body regulating the access if data if access has to be controlled.

    I welcome your feedback and your thoughts.

    Hi Matthew,

    We at Station X totally feel that TCGA data needs to be more freely accessible and approachable by the research community. In that spirit, we've recently launched a free reference library of genomics data as part of GenePool that is anchored by TCGA RNA-Seq data and it's metadata has been curated and linked to each of the samples. I trust you'll find that GenePool is making it easy to work with large cohorts of genomics data, including the TCGA cohorts.

    For more information about GenePool's growing library of genomics data, check out the following threads:

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
