Data Nodes

A node is a repository in the NCI Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC) containing related data that have been harmonized and stored in a format that is ready for analysis by the research community. The data are brought together with infrastructure for security, interoperability, and elastic compute capability.

Data Nodes are collaborative efforts between domain experts in cancer data and those building software for data. DCFS collects use cases unique to each node based on their data (proteomics, imaging, etc) and collaborates on data security and access. Enhancements and new features to NCI DCFS can flow over to Gen3 DCFS and Data Commons, serving Gen3 operators. Learn more about operators documentation at: https://gen3.org/resources/operator/.
