Cavatica May 31st, 2017 Cavatica wins Bio-IT People’s Choice Award Cavatica is the data sharing platform for pediatric disease Seven Bridges and our partners at The Children’s Brain Tumor Tissue Consortium (CBTTC) and the Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium (PNOC) were honored with a Bio-IT World People’s Choice award for Cavatica, the collaborative analysis and data sharing platform for pediatric diseases. This award follows Seven Bridges’ previous Best […] Written by Patrick Genomics May 23rd, 2017 Identifying viral sequences in TCGA data using Kraken and Centrifuge Image adapted from Kim et al. Genome Res. 26, 1721–1729 (2016). Next-Generation Sequencing has opened up the field of metagenomics. In metagenomic studies, a sample often contains a complex ecosystem of different microorganisms. The key challenge in these experiments is disentangling the identities of unknown species from millions of sequencing reads. Bioinformatic tools for metagenomics are designed to […] Written by Patrick Conferences May 22nd, 2017 Reference bias: Challenges and solutions Ahead of the Bio-IT World Conference & Expo in Boston this week, we take a look at the role of reference genomes in ensuring accurate genomic analysis. In standard next-generation sequencing analyses, DNA is fragmented and sequenced. The sequenced reads are then aligned to a reference genome for the species. … Written by Jessica Lau Cancer Genomics Cloud April 12th, 2017 Simons Genome Diversity Project now available on the Platform and CGC We’ve just announced the availability of the Simons Genome Diversity Project (SGDP) dataset on our Platform and Cancer Genomics Cloud. In keeping with Seven Bridges’ mission to colocalize data and analysis tools on the cloud, anyone with an internet connection can now explore SGDP’s 35TB of data. One way to … Written by Patrick Cancer Genomics Cloud February 17th, 2017 Data democratization advances oncology research Next week Seven Bridges will be at the Molecular Medicine Tri-Conference in San Francisco, California. Gaurav Kaushik, one of our Scientific Program Managers, will be sharing our work on the Cancer Genomics Cloud (CGC) as part of the conference’s informatics track. Launched publicly in 2016, the Seven Bridges CGC is … Written by Jessica Lau Platform February 17th, 2017 Creating a bulletproof workflow We’ve interviewed some of Seven Bridges’ experienced bioinformaticians to collect their tips and best practices for creating a bulletproof workflow on the Platform. Many bioinformaticians will have experienced the frustration of inexplicably failed analyses, incorrect outputs, or inconsistent results. When dealing with complex tools and gigabytes or even terabytes of … Written by Marko Marinkovic Graph Genome February 1st, 2017 Festival of Genomics: Reflecting on graph genomes Yesterday at Festival of Genomics, London, Seven Bridges CEO Deniz Kural joined a panel discussing implementations of graph genomes, alongside Erik Garrison from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and Andy Yates from EMBL-EBI. Great panel talking about #graph #genomes at #GenomicsFest @erikgarrison @denizkural Andrew Yates @FLGenomics pic.twitter.com/4Cxy2CslvT — Adrian Alexa … Written by Nick Conferences January 30th, 2017 Implementing precision medicine needs smart connected data Ahead of the Festival of Genomics, London, we take a look at what needs to happen in order to make biomedical data truly useful for precision medicine. Have you ever tried to show a friend an article or video that you know they would enjoy, but can’t quite find it? … Written by Patrick Science January 24th, 2017 Bioinformatics applications in cancer immunotherapy An emerging characteristic, or hallmark, of cancer cells is their ability to evade destruction by the immune system. While immune surveillance plays a role in controlling tumorigenesis and tumor progression, cancer cells can in turn disable the immune system by secreting immunosuppressive factors or recruiting immunosuppressive cells. Because of this … Written by Jessica Lau Posts navigation 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 … 13
