The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), a collaboration between the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), has generated comprehensive, multi-dimensional maps of the key genomic changes in 33 types of cancer. The TCGA dataset, 2.5 petabytes of data describing tumor tissue and matched normal tissues from more than 11,000 patients, is publically available and has been used widely by the research community.

The Cancer Genome Atlas is a NIH-funded project to catalog genetic mutations responsible for cancer. The data shown here is RNA-seq expression data produced by the consortium.

For questions or feedback on the data, please contact TCGA.

TCGA Gene Expression

The gene track shows RNA expression level for each TCGA tissue in GENCODE canonical genes. The gene scores are a total of all transcripts in that gene.

TCGA Transcript Expression

The transcript track shows RNA expression levels for each TCGA tissue using GENCODE v23 transcripts.
