Abstract: Access to data and models is essential for scientific research today, especially in the field of bioinformatics. However, biological data can be complex, unwieldy, and available in many different formats, which can prevent access to it and limit researchers' ability to interpret it and get new insights. The initial objective of this work was the development of a module for the R programming language that would allow interaction with the GDC database through the APIs published by it. As a result of the initial investigations, it was discovered that there was already a component that provided the interaction that was being developed, so the objectives of the same were reoriented to the investigation and documentation of the structure of the GDC database, of the existing component and to the creation of a tutorial of its use. This paper provides a summary of the data structure of the GDC database and is complemented by an interactive tutorial developed over R and Shiny that aims to provide users with the necessary knowledge to be able to use the GenomicDataCommons module in your future research. The tool focuses on the most important functions of the library and it is complemented by some practical examples and a Dashboard that allows you to have a first impression of the data stored in the database.
