Remarks

Remarks
The TCGA Data Portal does not host lower levels of sequence data. NCI's Cancer Genomics Hub (CGHub) is the new secure repository for storing, cataloging, and accessing BAM files and metadata for sequencing data. TCGA Data are available at the Genomic Data Commons (GDC): https://gdc-portal.nci.nih.gov
