The Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes Project, known as the Pan-Cancer Project, is a collaboration involving more than 1300 scientists and clinicians from 37 countries which analysed more than 2600 genomes. The survey contained in total, 38 different cancer types, creating a huge resource of primary cancer genomes.
In this video the researchers Moritz Gerstung (EMBL-EBI), Jan Korbel (EMBL Heidelberg), Nina Habermann (EMBL Heidelberg), Sebastian Waszak (EMBL Heidelberg) and Joachim Weischenfeldt (BRIC) talk about the Pan-Cancer Project, its aims, the challenges which were faced and how cloud computing was used to handle the large amounts of data.
