Bioinformatics scientist Frank Ambrosio recounts how Terra has come to serve as a shared platform for public health labs, and to foster cross-cutting collaboration among members of the public health community
This spotlight on a peer-reviewed paper about the 2021 Delta variant outbreak in Provincetown, MA highlights how the viral genomics part of the work was implemented in Terra.
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.
The Broad Institute announced a new partnership with the CDC and Theiagen Genomics that will help public health labs adopt Terra for pathogen genomics and biosurveillance.
How a team of designers and engineers rose to the challenge of supporting TestBoston, a collaborative project with Brigham and Women’s Hospital that aims to monitor the infection rate of COVID-19 in Massachusetts over time.
Christine Loreth is a project manager in the Data Sciences Platform at the Broad Institute. In this guest blog post, she tells the story of how she and colleagues in the DSP helped members of the Sabeti Lab, a leading infectious diseases research group at the Broad, use Terra to enable a genomic epidemiology study […]
As we have discussed previously, our collaborators in the Sabeti Lab at the Broad Institute have been analyzing SARS-CoV-2 viral genomes from COVID-19 cases in the Boston area, in partnership with the MA Department of Public Health and Massachusetts General Hospital. From the beginning of this work, they have shared their […]
In this guest blog post, Longqi Liu from Beijing Genomics Institute-Research and Miguel A. Esteban from the Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health (Chinese Academy of Sciences), discuss their efforts in developing a better understanding of SARS-CoV-2 and how they utilized Single Cell Portal to make their research accessible to others. […]
Anton Kovalsky As the global battle against COVID-19 continues, researchers in the viral genomics group at the Broad Institute have been hard at work using viral sequencing and genomic epidemiology to understand the spread of SARS-CoV-2 close to home, yielding new insights into the arrival and spread of the epidemic in the greater Boston area. […]
Recently, we’ve been writing here about the work of the Viral Genomics group at Broad and how they’re using Terra to support their workflows for genome assembly and phylogenomic analysis of novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) genomes recovered from patients. Today, I’d like to share with you a project that focuses on the cells and […]
Terra is developed by the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in collaboration with Microsoft and Verily.
