Public projects overview

The CGC maintains public projects which act as repositories for examples of specific analyses as well as the associated data and tools you need to replicate these analyses on the CGC.

To preserve the integrity of the public projects' resources, you only have read permissions for these projects. You can browse through a public project to review the available data, workflows, and tools.

To conduct further analyses, you can also make a copy of the entire project or copy specific resources from the public project into your personal projects.

At this point, the copied project becomes your own project: you will have full project admin permissions and control over the project. Your actions in your own project will not affect the public project from which you obtained the resources.
