Erdal Cosgun-co author of this blog- is the Lead Data Scientist in the Microsoft Genomics Team and working on the Interactive Analysis component of Terra on Microsoft Azure. Terra on Microsoft Azure cloud computing continues to evolve to meet the demand for high-performance virtual machines (VMs) capable of handling
Discover the newest component of the Terra platform, designed to provide data storage and access management capabilities tailored for the life sciences.
Join the early access program to try out the Broad Institute’s new Genomic Variant Store, a highly scalable variant storage and processing solution powered by Google BigQuery on Terra.
Introducing a new utility called Data Uploader and a great set of improvements to the data tables that make it easier to bring data into Terra and organize it.
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.
Many workflows generate intermediate files that you won’t ever use again once the pipeline has run to completion. You can reduce your data footprint — and your storage costs! — by getting Terra to delete them for you.
In my last blog post, I gave an overview of how Terra’s data tables can help you streamline and scale up your data processing operations through the use of a data model that describes your dataset in a structured way. In this follow-up, I want to touch on some of the thornier questions that […]
“This is not a question. I just wanted to say that I’ve avoided learning how to use Terra Data tables for a long time, primarily because I’ve used workflows that require sample sheet files, but I finally got to try it out and I must say it was quite powerful.” — A computational scientist, in […]
Terra is developed by the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in collaboration with Microsoft and Verily.
