Challenge in Treating Cancer:

Large-Scale Studies of Cancer Genomes

Heterogeneity within and across tumor types

High rate of abnormalities (driver vs

passenger)

Sample quality matters

Consent and controlled data access is

complicated

Lessons learned

42

International Cancer Genome Consortium

• Collect ~500 tumour/normal pairs from each of 50 different major

cancer types;

• Comprehensive genome analysis of each T/N pair:

– Genome

– Transcriptome

– Methylome

– Clinical data

• Make the data available to the research community & public.

Rationale for the ICGC

• The scope is huge, such that no country can do it all.

• Coordinated cancer genome initiatives will reduce

duplication of effort for common and easy to acquire

tumor samples and and ensure complete studies for many

less frequent forms of cancer.

• Standardization and uniform quality measures across

studies will enable the merging of datasets, increasing

power to detect additional targets.

• The spectrum of many cancers varies across the

world for many tumor types, because of environmental,

genetic and other causes.

• The ICGC will accelerate the dissemination of genomic

and analytical methods across participating sites, and

the user community

44

International Cancer Genome Consortium

(ICGC)Goals

• Catalogue genomic abnormalities in tumors in 50 different cancer types and/or subtypes of clinical and societal importance across the globe

• Generate complementary catalogues of transcriptomic and epigenomic datasets from the same tumors

• Make the data available to research community rapidly with minimal restrictions to accelerate research into the causes and control of cancer

50 tumor types and/or subtypes

500 tumors + 500 controls per subtype

50,000 Human Genome Projects!

59

Policy

ICGC membership implies compliance with Core

Bioethical Elements for samples used in ICGC

Cancer Projects:

http://goo.gl/TFrCmK

http://goo.gl/nYx6YG

60

POLICY:

The members of the International Cancer Genomics

Consortium (ICGC) are committed to the principle of

rapid data release to the scientific community.

http://goo.gl/TFrCmK

61

Publication Policy

• The individual research groups in

the ICGC are free to publish the

results of their own efforts in

independent publications at any

time (subject, of course, to any

policies of any collaborations in

which they may be participating).

Where do you find that information?

• We actually make it hard to find, but we are

working on that! (this is an example of where ICGC

would like to do what TCGA does!)

65

Where do you find that information?

For ICGC data:

• Need to find the policy!• http://icgc.org/icgc/goals-structure-policies-

guidelines/e3-publication-policy

• Find text:

• Find date: in README on FTP file

• This is bad, we know it, and we are fixing it!

• In doubt, contact us: [email protected]

66

Policy on Intellectual Property

• All ICGC members agree not to make claims to

possible IP derived from primary data (including

somatic mutations) and to not pursue IP

protections that would prevent or block access to

or use of any element of ICGC data or conclusions

drawn directly from those data.

DCC ActivitiesDCC activities are split between two groups:

• Software Development

– DCC portal

– Submission tool

• Biocuration (which also includes Content

Management)

– Data level management

• Progress reporting (data audit)

• Quality checks (coverage, correctness, etc.)

• Helping users get to the data

• Validate and check (and recheck) metadata on public

repositories

• Test and integrate with other public repositories via

standard data formats, ontologies.

Bioinformatics Citizenship: What it means,

and what does it cost?

122

Important messages:

• The ICGC portal is evolving and getting better all

the time

• Lots of data provided by the ICGC

• Important to be good citizens of the scientific world

• The idea behind all of this is to provide tools to

help cure cancer

• Need to respect policies and guidelines

• There is help out there, and user feedback is

*always* welcome.
