Description

COSMIC, the Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer, is the world's largest and most comprehensive resource for exploring the impact of somatic mutations in human cancer.
COSMIC is a project of the Wellcome Sanger Institute (WSI).

Data Access

ChIPBase v3.0 does not provide a way to download the source SNP and SNV file, you may download SNP and SNV data in COSMIC website.

Data Use Policy

Licence fees have been introduced for the commercial use of COSMIC. This ensures the continued growth and maintenance of the resource for academics and industry alike. We only apply fees to the commercial sector and COSMIC data remains completely free for non-commercial use, as described in COSMIC "Licensing" and "Terms & Conditions".

Unauthorised use:
In general terms, users are expected to use the website via a normal web browser. We strongly discourage the use of automated scripts or other download tools to "scrape" data from the website. We provide a comprehensive set of downloadable data files, available to registered users, and we encourage you to use these files rather than the website when retrieving large volumes of COSMIC data. Programmatically downloading bulk data from the COSMIC website as a means of avoiding registration or license fees is considered to be unauthorised use.
