The Cancer Genome Atlas 2nd Annual Scientific Symposium:
Enabling Cancer Research Through TCGA

On November 27-28, 2012, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) held its second annual scientific symposium at The Crystal Gateway Marriott in Crystal City, Va. Through collaborative workshops, poster sessions and plenary presentations, TCGA investigators from around the world shared their novel biological discoveries, analytical methods and translational approaches using TCGA data.
Available in the table below are videos and accompanying slides from the symposium.
Also available as a video playlist on GenomeTV
