COSMIC is an online database of somatically acquired mutations found in human cancer.[1] Somatic mutations are those that occur in non-germline cells that are not inherited by children. COSMIC, an acronym of Catalogue Of Somatic Mutations In Cancer, curates data from papers in the scientific literature and large scale experimental screens from the Cancer Genome Project at the Sanger Institute.[2][3][4] The database is freely available to academic researchers and commercially licensed to others.[5]
