Data Release-20 from the Genomic Data Commons (GDC) includes genomics from a new CPTAC project!  

The CPTAC Proteogenomic Confirmatory Study examined prospectively collected colon, breast and ovarian tumors for analysis, including harmonized whole exome sequencing, RNA-Seq, and miRNA-Seq that is now available.  Complimentary proteomic and phosphoproteomic analysis can also be found on the CPTAC Data Portal and the Proteomic Data Commons (PDC).

CPTAC has provided the Genomic Data Commons (GDC) with genomic data from over 600 cancer patients with diverse disease types including...

Over three hundred proteomic explorers and  Clinical Proteomics Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) participants from around the country convened on the NIH Bethesda campus to share cutting-edge proteogenomic research in the first ever, public-facing CPTAC Scientific Symposium.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common form of liver cancer, occurs most often in people with hepatitis B or C viral (HBV or HCV) infections who drink large amounts of alcohol.  Unlike the recent progress of antiviral-eliminating therapy for HCV, current antiviral therapy is only able to reduce rather than eliminate HBV and is estimated to affect 292 million peop

RAS gene mutations and their pathways have  stymied cancer researchers for decades.  RAS-driven cancers make up more than 30% of all human cancers due to their association with uncontrollable cell growth, death-signal evasion, and drug resistance.  In 2014, the National Cancer Institu

The Journal of Molecular & Cellular Proteomics has released a special issue this month (August 2019) on Multi-Omics Integration.  The issue sets out to show how multi-omics research is integral to the understanding of biological systems.  It touts work from several of our CPTAC investigators who share their cutting

CPTAC researchers at John Hopkins University School of Medicine have developed a technique to reliably identify o-linked glycosylation sites and site-specific glycans with core 1 structures.  Before you dust off

June 13th, 2019 marked the addition of our 33rd institution to the International Cancer Proteogenomic Consortium (ICPC).  We are pleased to include Amsterdam UMC as a participant in the global effort to accelerate cancer research.

While it’s a common misconception that all tumors in the brain are the same, there are more than 120 subtypes of brain cancers with very diverse features and diagnosis.

Since its first mention in the scientific literature in 2004 by Jaffe et al1, the term proteogenomics has been shrouded in mystery and thick technical language.  It is a complex idea, but one that is gaining traction as its value to improve our understanding of cancer development and potentially guide novel treatment strategies is being uncovered.
