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.
Last week I gave you a tour of the RStudio integration that we’re building into Terra in the context of the AnVIL project, in collaboration with the Bioconductor team. This week I want to introduce you to the Galaxy integration, another great collaboration forged on the AnVIL that involves members of the core Galaxy team. […]
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. […]
Watch the recording of a panel on Genomic Data Sharing Policies hosted by the US National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) on Nov 19, 2020.
Guest blog post by Kylee Degatano, Product Manager for the Lantern Pipelines team in the Data Sciences Platform at the Broad Institute. I’m very excited to announce the recent release of WDL Analysis Research Pipelines (WARP), a brand new, public GitHub repository of cloud-optimized WDL workflows that are used in production at the […]
One of the foundational principles of Terra is that it’s designed to be an open ecosystem, not a walled garden — there are no lock-in mechanisms. If after a while you decide to leave, you can take all the analysis tooling you’ve been using here and expect it to still be […]
Every year we run a workshop at the annual meeting of the American Society for Human Genetics, and it’s a highlight of our year for many reasons. My favorite aspect of it is that we use the ASHG workshop to drive development of brand new educational materials and resources, and sometimes […]
Ever since we introduced Jupyter Notebooks in Terra, we’ve sought to provide default environments pre-loaded with software packages that are likely to interest you, to minimize the amount of setup necessary to get your work going. However, we’ve found that there’s a huge amount of variation in the needs and preferences of researchers, from […]
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. […]
Terra is developed by the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in collaboration with Microsoft and Verily.
