What’s next for genomics? Plug into GA4GH to find out
A short primer on what is the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health, why it matters, and links to recordings from the 2022 Plenary Meeting.
DNAstack’s Viral AI builds on GA4GH standards to tackle data federation for viral genomics
Designed to provide federated access to viral genomic data, the Viral AI network will use Terra to provide user-friendly access to relevant analysis capabilities.
Experience GA4GH Interoperability standards in action
Today is the second day of the 8th plenary meeting of GA4GH, aka the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health, an international collaborative effort that has been driving the development of standards for infrastructure, policy, and security in the genomics field for nearly a decade. […]
AnVIL platform helps meet the new NIH Data Management and Sharing policy requirements
The AnVIL platform offers intuitive tools to support researchers meet all their NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy needs.
From infrastructure projects to connected communities: Building a cloud data ecosystem with deep roots
The cloud is the future of data sharing and collaboration. Yet to make it all work, it’s critical to provide appropriate tools and interfaces that streamline data access and analysis operations for researchers.
Expediting scientific discovery by streamlining data access with DUOS
Jonathan Lawson explains how cumbersome data access processes that create major bottlenecks in accessing genomic data and limit scientific impact can be streamlined through ontologies and automation.
How Terra fits within the AnVIL ecosystem
We’ve mentioned the AnVIL project a number of times in recent blog posts — covering topics such as Dockstore, RStudio, Galaxy, and DRS URIs — so it feels like it’s high time that we gave you some more context. Specifically, we thought it might be useful to reiterate the key goals of the AnVIL project and explain briefly how Terra fits in with the other AnVIL components.
Embracing DRS URIs and the benefits of data interoperability standards
DRS stands for Data Repository Service API, one of the interoperability standards developed under the aegis of the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH). In this blog, we explain the big picture of what DRS is for and how it liberates you from having to worry about certain data management problems.
Keeping the promise of data sharing is hard — and worth it
A commentary from the Terra partners leadership on a recently published Nature News feature titled “The broken promise that undermines human genome research”.
Blue skies ahead: An exciting new horizon for Terra with Microsoft
We are taking the next step in our journey by joining our efforts with Microsoft, a partner that truly needs no introduction. This multi-year partnership will bring together advanced technologies, industry expertise, and scale to accelerate the next generation of the Terra platform for health and life sciences research.
