What Is the Cancer Genome Atlas–Origin?

The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) is a landmark cancer genomics program started in 2006 to molecularly characterize different types of cancers. This was a joint effort of the US government-funded National Cancer Institute and National Human Genome Research Institute under the guidance of Dr. Jean Claude Zenklusen.[1]
