A Beacon is a simple service that answers the question: Have you observed this mutated allele? The ICGC Beacon searches for mutated alleles observed in somatic mutations only. The Beacon is designed to accept a query and responds with one of the three results described below.
Results
true
Returned when a matching mutation is found at the queried position.
This Beacon is based off of the v0.2 Specification which is still in progress and is subject to change without notice. Please contact theglobalalliance@genomicsandhealth.org for additonal information.
