Title: Integration of proteomics (CPTAC) with genomics (TCGA) data produces a more unified picture of tumor biology
Description: The National Cancer Institute’s Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) program was established to comprehensively identify and quantitate proteins that derive from alterations in cancer genomes. CPTAC involves a national consortium of researchers who apply state-of-the-art standardized proteomic workflows to comprehensively genomically-characterized tumors (such as those from The Cancer Genome Atlas, TCGA). The program is now revealing new biological insights that help us better to understand the proteogenomic complexity of cancer. This seminar will highlight how comprehensive proteomic analysis in combination with comprehensive genomic analysis produces a unified understanding of tumor biology, and discuss the public resources (data, assays, reagents) being developed for future studies by the cancer research community.
