A new playlist of workshop videos by Dr. Karen Miga’s team at UCSC demonstrates how to use data and resources from the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium
A quick recap of recent Terra-related headlines: Journal appearances for Terra and the AnVIL, planned integration with Singular Genomics’ new G4 sequencer and a new release of Microsoft’s Cromwell on Azure.
The Human Cell Atlas project makes its vast collection of data available through a Data Portal that offers direct export to a Terra workspace.
Dr. Kiran Garimella gives an overview of MAS-ISO-seq, a new method for generating a lot more data per run with long-read sequencing technologies such as PacBio, and shares a workspace that demonstrates the method’s data processing.
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.
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.
A commentary from the Terra partners leadership on a recently published Nature News feature titled “The broken promise that undermines human genome research”.
A list of Terra highlights from this past year, focusing specifically on new options and capabilities for interactive analysis and workflow execution that you would interact within the user interface.
We teamed up with the BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network consortium to put together a hands-on workshop focused on helping researchers get started with key resources including the Neuroscience Multi-Omic Archive, Single Cell Portal, and Terra.
Terra is developed by the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in collaboration with Microsoft and Verily.
