The Cancer Genome Atlas First Annual Scientific Symposium

DNA double-helix and two researchers

In November 2011, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Research Network held its first open scientific symposium in Washington, D.C. TCGA researchers and outside investigators from around the world presented results on the use of TCGA data to make biological discoveries about cancer. The two-day meeting included lectures, collaborative workshops and poster sessions. The lectures are made freely available here and on NHGRI's YouTube channel, GenomeTV.
