+# GDC Sourced cBioPortal Studies
+The following is a list of studies generated using the NCI-CRDC Pipeline. Source data is from the GDC and can be found inside ISB-CGC BigQuery tables, [here](https://isb-cgc.appspot.com/bq_meta_search/). The list includes both the cBioPortal study identifier as well as a link to the corresponding GDC portal project. 
+
+## TCGA
+
+- **Cancer type mapping:** Each study corresponds to one TCGA project. The suffix of the TCGA project is taken and converted to an OncoTree code, which is used for the name of the study.
+    - **Example:** For the TCGA project `TCGA-LAML`, the `LAML` suffix is taken and converted to the Oncotree code `AML`. The resulting cBioPortal study is `aml_tcga_gdc`.

+## CPTAC
+
+- **Cancer type mapping:** CPTAC is comprised of the CPTAC-2 and CPTAC-3 projects, both of which encompass multiple cancer types. Each study corresponds to a subset of these projects with a particular OncoTree code. The code is determined by looking at `disease_type` and `primary_site` in the BigQuery tables.
+    - **Example:** The `luad_cptac` study is generated from all samples with primary site `Bronchus and lung` and disease type `Adenomas and Adenocarcinomas`.

+## TARGET
+
+- **Cancer type mapping:** Each study corresponds to one or more TARGET projects. The name of the project is derived from the OncoTree code defined in the mapping file.
+    - **Example:** The `bll_target_gdc` study has OncoTree code `BLL` and is sourced from the GDC projects `TARGET-ALL-P1` and `TARGET-ALL-P2`.
