abstract = "We are in a time of unprecedented discovery in cancer research. To a large extent this new opportunity has been driven by new technologies capable of comprehensive molecular analysis. Vital to the application of these new technologies is the availability of databases, material resources, and analysis tools. Described here is the current CGAP progress toward fulfillment of this vision. The CGAP databases are already a rich resource of information potentially applicable to all areas of cancer research. Understanding the strengths and limitations of these datasets is crucial for successful integration of this basic information with applied cancer research. While challenges are great, the potential rewards are even greater, and we look forward to integrating these molecular databases with clinical data toward advancement of our understanding and ability to prevent and intervene in cancer.",

note = "Funding Information: The CGAP program results from the dedicated efforts of a large team of investigators. Dr. Michael Emmert-Buck oversees the effort to integrate cancer pathology and molecular biology. Dr. Greg Riggins directs the CGAP SAGE program. The CGAP chromosome aberration program is led by Drs. Ilan Kirsch and Thomas Ried. Dr. David Krizman has produced the libraries derived from microdissected samples. The NCBI efforts in behalf of the CGAP program have been directed by Drs. Alex Lash, Carolyn Shenmen, and Lukas Wagner. DNA sequencing for the CGAP program is performed at the Washington University Genome Sequencing Center (Dr. Sandra Clifton), the NCI Sequencing Center, and the NIH Intramural Sequencing Center (Dr. Eric Green). Dr. Christa Prange arrays and maintains the CGAP clone collection. The Mitelman Database of Chromosome Aberrations in Cancer was developed by Dr. Felix Mitelman, in collaboration with Drs. Bertil Johansson and Frederik Mertens. Maintenance of the Mitelman database is supported by the Swedish Cancer Society and the Swedish Child Cancer Fund.
