The REMBRANDT study, a large collection of genomic data from brain cancer patients

Sci Data. 2018 Aug 14:5:180158. doi: 10.1038/sdata.2018.158.

Abstract

The Rembrandt brain cancer dataset includes 671 patients collected from 14 contributing institutions from 2004-2006. It is accessible for conducting clinical translational research using the open access Georgetown Database of Cancer (G-DOC) platform. In addition, the raw and processed genomics and transcriptomics data have also been made available via the public NCBI GEO repository as a super series GSE108476. Such combined datasets would provide researchers with a unique opportunity to conduct integrative analysis of gene expression and copy number changes in patients alongside clinical outcomes (overall survival) using this large brain cancer study.
