We’ve added the ability to launch R Shiny apps from Terra’s built-in RStudio environment, opening up some really exciting possibilities for taking interactive data visualization in Terra to the next level.
One of our biggest feature developments so far this year has been the addition of Galaxy, the popular open-source bioinformatics application, to Terra’s interactive analysis portfolio.
Terra offers an assortment of cloud environments pre-configured for interactive analysis with popular tools and packages. In response to popular demand, we recently updated Terra’s R-based notebook environments to include the latest version of Seurat, a widely-used R package for multimodal single-cell analysis.
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 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. […]
What better way to keep the rstudio::global(2021) party going than to share a video showing how to use RStudio in Terra? Yes, you read that right, RStudio is available in Terra! Specifically, we provide a cloud environment pre-configured to run the server version of RStudio, as an alternative (or complement) to Jupyter Notebooks. […]
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.
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 […]
Terra is developed by the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in collaboration with Microsoft and Verily.
