If you have been using the Terra Notebook Utilities (TNU) to access data through DRS/DOS URIs, you need to update your version of TNU before December 1, 2020, as described further in this article. Read on to learn more.
Last week we were very excited for our colleagues in the gnomAD team, who announced on their blog that the entire gnomAD dataset is now available for direct use or download from Google Cloud as well as Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. If you’re not familiar with gnomAD, the name stands for Genome Aggregation […]
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 […]
One of the challenges we face in human genomic research is that there is a lot of data that we can’t freely share with one another, for legal and ethical reasons. This can be particularly vexing for tool developers who need data for testing, and for educators who need to provide […]
Terra is developed by the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in collaboration with Microsoft and Verily.
