CAMBRIDGE, Mass.–Seven Bridges, the biomedical data analysis company, today announced that the National Cancer Institute (NCI) has extended the statement of work for its Cancer Genomics Cloud (CGC) pilots, broadening the scope of the pilot to include additional sources of data and enhance usability. A key objective of the extension is to integrate the Seven Bridges CGC with the NCI’s Genomic Data Commons (GDC) and other data repositories of interest to the cancer research community. These new data will include additional cancer genomics, imaging and proteomics datasets.

As one of three cloud pilots initiated by the NCI, the Seven Bridges CGC makes The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) available to researchers worldwide, and makes the data usable by offering cloud-based computation and powerful tools for genomic data analysis. Integration with the GDC will allow researchers to use the Seven Bridges CGC to access and analyze data from an increasing number of cancer genome programs, alongside TCGA, including d
