Genomic profiling of tumors has become increasingly common across cancer types, but the data are not regularly made available to the entire research community. The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) launched the Genomics, Evidence, Neoplasia, Information, Exchange (GENIE) project in partnership with eight academic institutions to facilitate large-scale sharing of genomic and clinical data. The AACR Project GENIE Consortium released the first of set of data from 19,000 patients in January 2017, and the number of samples included is expected to grow to more than 100,000 within 5 years as more centers join the Consortium. Data from participating centers include matched clinical and genomic data from a variety of tumor types that are harmonized and made accessible in the cBioPortal for Cancer Genomics. Despite the differences in genomic testing at the contributing centers, the genomic data collected so far are largely concordant across the centers,...
