I would like to conduct a project on analyzing commonalities of certain mutations in repetitive DNA of patients with certain types of cancers. To do this, I will need to find the whole genome sequence of different patients with the same type of cancer. I would very much appreciate it if you could direct me to a database where I could obtain this information, or if you have any tips on where I could find this information!
Thanks from a grateful undergraduate,

Hello Nick
One of the best places for what you are looking would be The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) (https://www.cancer.gov/about-nci/organization/ccg/research/structural-genomics/tcga). You may need a permission for some data downloads.
Hi,
GDC portal: https://portal.gdc.cancer.gov/
Note that to access some of the data you will need to apply for access through the database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP): https://gdc.cancer.gov/access-data/obtaining-access-controlled-data
Cheers.
