is a Data Source.

The International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) is a global initiative to characterize the genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic changes in 50 different tumor types and subtypes. It generates comprehensive catalogues of somatic mutations and other cancer genomics data, made available to the research community. The original ICGC Data Portal (dcc.icgc.org) was retired in June 2024, with ICGC 25K data and the successor ICGC ARGO project continuing to provide access to cancer genomics datasets.

ICGC

Overview

The International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) is a global research effort to characterize the genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic changes across dozens of cancer types and subtypes. ICGC produced comprehensive catalogues of somatic mutations and associated molecular and clinical data, shared with the research community to accelerate cancer research.

Status and Access

The original ICGC Data Portal at dcc.icgc.org was officially retired in June 2024. The most recent ICGC 25K release and PCAWG data remain available to authorized users, and the consortium’s work continues through the Accelerating Research in Genomic Oncology (ICGC ARGO) project. Data is uniformly analyzed against the GRCh38 human reference genome and accessed through controlled-access procedures managed by the ICGC Data Access Compliance Office (DACO).

Key Features

  • Large-scale cancer genomics: Somatic mutation catalogues across many tumor types.
  • Multi-omics data: Genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic profiles plus clinical data.
  • Uniform analysis: Data harmonized against GRCh38 in the ICGC ARGO platform.
  • Controlled access: Sensitive datasets available via the ICGC DACO application process.
