Public discovery
Use BRIDGE and BMCA pages to review dataset descriptions, cohort-level summaries, UMAP visualizations, and public processed atlas resources.
Request Data Access
BRIDGE supports discovery of brain metastasis datasets while separating open public resources from controlled human genomic and patient-level data.
Controlled access
Raw human sequencing data and sensitive patient-level clinical or genomic data are handled through appropriate controlled-access repositories and governance review.
Access review
Requests involving controlled genomic data, unpublished TRACE-linked cases, or commercial use require Data Access Committee or consortium review where applicable.
Data access policy
BRIDGE does not directly host raw controlled human genomic data. Raw human sequencing data and sensitive patient-level clinical/genomic data will be deposited in appropriate controlled-access repositories. BRIDGE provides dataset discovery, metadata harmonization, accession links, and Data Access Committee review where applicable. Public BMCA resources include deidentified, processed, publication-ready data products and summary-level visualizations.
Access categories
| Data type | Example | Access |
|---|---|---|
| Public summaries | cohort counts, UMAP images, aggregate cell-type proportions | Open |
| Processed public atlas files | deidentified matrices, embeddings, annotations | Open or registered |
| Controlled genomic data | FASTQ/BAM/CRAM, variant calls, WES/WGS, linked clinical data | Controlled repository + DAC |
| Internal consortium data | unpublished TRACE-linked longitudinal cases | Consortium only |
| Commercial use | industry access or licensing | Not permitted unless separately approved |
Access workflow
- Review the public BMCA and ecDNA portals for open summaries, processed resources, and dataset context.
- For controlled or unpublished data, submit a request describing the dataset, intended use, requester institution, ethics approvals, and data-security plan.
- The BRIDGE coordination team will route requests to the Data Access Committee, repository access process, or consortium working group as applicable.
Request Access
Send a concise request describing the dataset, proposed use, institution, PI/contact, ethics status, and whether controlled genomic or patient-level data are requested.
