Common Workflow Language May 11th, 2018 Enabling portable, reproducible, and scalable biomedical data analysis using Rabix Composer and CWL v1.0 We are excited to announce the release of version 1.0 of Rabix Composer, our integrated development environment for creating bioinformatics tools and workflows, and of support for Common Workflow Language (CWL) v1.0 on the Seven Bridges Platform! For an introduction to Rabix Composer and CWL, we encourage you to read … Written by Adrian Sharma & Liz Williams Science May 7th, 2018 Spatial Transcriptomics on the Seven Bridges Platform As our understanding of biology deepens, many researchers are moving away from bulk gene expression analyses to single-cell analyses. However, current RNA-Seq methods that assay pooled RNA from tissue samples, or even from single cells, fail to conserve the spatial distribution of gene expression within the original tissue. In addition, … Written by Michele Mattioni Science February 26th, 2018 Circulating Tumor DNA Analysis on the Seven Bridges Platform Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has brought significant improvements in all areas of biotechnology and healthcare — and cancer screening is no exception. The latest game-changer is liquid biopsy, a novel and challenging NGS application. By directly measuring and analyzing circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in blood, liquid biopsy is a promising, … Written by Sanja Mijalkovic, Luka Topalovic, Ognjen Milicevic Science December 18th, 2017 The GA4GH Workflow Execution Challenge: evaluating reproducibility and portability across platforms Large-scale, geographically distributed genomics analysis efforts, such as the PanCancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) project, highlight a trend in our community towards moving compute to where data resides. For PCAWG, this was out of necessity as the genomes for ~2,800 cancer donors were stored across 8 different locations around … Written by Guest Author: Brian O’Connor Posts navigation 1 2
