BioData Catalyst May 29th, 2020 What Makes TOPMed Datasets So Special? Studies from the Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) program are available for analysis on NHLBI BioData Catalyst. The TOPMed program, funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), focuses on data specifically for advancing science in the fields of heart, … Written by Daniel Ventre Seven Bridges News May 26th, 2020 Seven Bridges Selected to Build Cancer Data Aggregator for the National Cancer Institute as Part of Consortium Led by the Broad Institute Cancer research is one of the most dynamic applications of precision medicine. However, the collection of tumor and patient genomic sequences, protein biomarkers, tumor cells, radiological and molecular images and clinical findings creates a superabundance of data held in various datasets in different repositories across the country and around the … Written by Jack DiGiovanna Genomics April 30th, 2020 GATK Best Practice: RNA-seq Variant Calling Workflow on the Seven Bridges Platform Whether or not variant calling should be performed on RNA-seq data and its possible benefits is a debatable topic. One thing is for certain, if you have already sequenced the transcriptome with the intent to analyze gene expression, but you are also interested in exploring variants existing in the same … Written by Nemanja Vucic Genomics April 22nd, 2020 Assessing State of the Art Bioinformatics The Oxford English Dictionary defines bioinformatics as “the science of information and information flow in biological systems, especially of the use of computational methods in genetics and genomics.” In common vernacular, it is often defined as the use of statistical and computing methods to solve or better understand complex biological … Written by Vladimir Kovacevic Platform February 18th, 2020 Be Cloud-Agnostic: A Solution for Computing on Genomics Datasets in Distributed Cloud Locations The Multi-Cloud features on the Seven Bridges Platform allow you to work in a “cloud-agnostic” manner, enabling researchers to access and compute on datasets stored on multiple cloud locations to save time and money. Empower your research with relevant datasets regardless of where the data lives Starting a research project with data distributed in multi-cloud […] Written by Daniel Ventre Cancer Genomics Cloud December 19th, 2019 Enabling Workflow Reproducibility in the Cloud with New Pipelines from the Genomic Data Commons When analyzing genomic data, there is a vast range of bioinformatics tools and workflows to choose from. However, making an informed selection from so many options can be overwhelming, even within a relatively narrow topic, such as harmonization to a reference genome. One approach to selecting the right tool for … Written by Manisha Ray Cancer Genomics Cloud December 11th, 2019 Bioinformatics Workflow Portability is Critical to Achieving Reproducibility With the explosion of genomic data in recent years, the number of bioinformatics workflows has seen a corresponding proliferation. Researchers and developers now have a wealth of analysis options, from building their own tools to taking advantage of those developed by others. However, a workflow developed in one environment may … Written by Manisha Ray Memoization May 8th, 2019 How Memoization Enhances Efficiency for Large Scale Genomic Analysis Research Projects Memoization for large scale genomic analysis allows researchers and bioinformaticians to restart from a point of failure by enabling the reuse of existing outputs. This functionality is of critical importance given the size and complexity of genomic data and the impact of a failure on workflow efficiency and overall cost. … Written by The Seven Bridges Computation Team Automation May 1st, 2019 How Computational Workflows for Genomic Analysis can be Simplified Computational workflows are often not just computational workflows. Most interface with Library Information Management Systems (LIMS), Next-generation Sequencing (NGS) instruments, perform complex input validations, and coordinate processing between on-prem and cloud services. Many developers find that writing the code and software required to perform these integrations to be a daunting … Written by Kaushik Ghose Posts navigation 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 … 16
