Cancer Genomics Project by ID (NCI Genomic Data Commons)

ncigdc/project-by-id

One project of the National Cancer Institute's Genomic Data Commons (GDC) by its project_id, for example TCGA-LUAD, TARGET-AML or CPTAC-3: name, primary sites, disease types, dbGaP accession number where it has one, and its release state. Project metadata only: files, cases and controlled-access data are not served. An unknown project id is refused as not found. Passed through unmodified and served by Eden Engine; not an official NCI product.
