Cancer Genomics Cloud August 23rd, 2017 Reducing Bioinformatic Analysis Costs with AWS Spot Instances Although genome sequencing costs have dropped dramatically over the past few years, analyzing large amounts of genomic data remains expensive. As the scale of genomic projects continues to grow, cost-efficient bioinformatic analysis is key to gaining insight from the estimated 100 million to 2 billion human genomes that will be … Written by Jessica Lau Cancer Genomics Cloud June 30th, 2017 Custom interactive analysis on all Seven Bridges environments This week we released Data Cruncher, an interactive analysis tool available on the Seven Bridges Platform, Cancer Genomics Cloud, and Cavatica. By enabling researchers to apply custom scripts in JupyterLab to data stored in the cloud, Data Cruncher supports interactive and collaborative bioinformatic analysis at scale. Bringing custom interactive analysis to the cloud Although some […] 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 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 Platform January 4th, 2017 Making efficient use of your compute resources The non-trivial matter of optimising compute resources available for your analysis is brought into the spotlight. We discuss when you might benefit from optimising the compute resources available for your analysis as well as how you can achieve this on the Seven Bridges Platform. Examples of effective management of large … Written by Andrea Szollossi Platform July 31st, 2016 What happens when I run a task? Each time you run a tool or a workflow on the Seven Bridges Platform, you create a task. The task goes through several different phases before it is finally completed. A change in its status, displayed in the upper left corner of the task page, marks off each phase, as … Written by Aleksandar Gazibara Platform July 31st, 2016 Customizing your tasks on the Seven Bridges Platform This blog post provides an overview of how hints can be used to customize tasks on the Seven Bridges Platform. In the context of the Platform, “hints” are parameters that allow you to configure or override some of the predefined ways in which apps and tasks work. Specifically, hints can be … Written by Marko Marinkovic Cancer Genomics Cloud June 21st, 2016 The Data Browser has a new look! Representing more than 11,000 patients, each analyzed across multiple molecular dimensions, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) represents an incredibly rich data resource. However, navigating this landscape to find exactly the data that is most interesting can be challenging – particularly when information is spread across multiple sources. To address this … Written by Kate Hodesdon Platform April 3rd, 2016 The new normal: portable workflows Since 2014, researchers around the world, including engineers and scientists at Seven Bridges, have been developing the Common Workflow Language (CWL) specification. The ambitious goal of this project is to enable portable, reproducible and scalable biomedical data analysis. In other words – enabling the same workflow (including the precise tool … Written by Kate Hodesdon Posts pagination 1 2 3
