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, Bo Li, Principal Investigator at Massachusetts General Hospital and Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, explains how using Terra enabled his group to develop a new single-cell transcriptomic analysis framework, Cumulus, to serve the needs of the Immune Cell Atlas project. […]
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 […]
In our last blog post, we featured a public workspace containing best-practices workflows for viral genome analysis developed by Dr. Danny Park’s Viral Genomics group, and used to process COVID-19 research data. We have been working with the viral genomics team to make additional improvements to the workspace, and I’m excited to tell […]
I remember when I originally started hearing about Docker containers; I didn’t really understand what they were and anything I googled on the topic seemed awfully complicated. And I’ll admit, getting used to working with cloud storage was rough too. What do you mean it’s not a filesystem? What’s object storage? […]
Like you, we are adapting to a different way of living and working as the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) spreads, claiming many lives, sickening many more, and upending daily life around the world. We are heartened to see that the scientific community is mobilizing (in labs and remotely) to find and exploit any […]
Terra is developed by the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in collaboration with Microsoft and Verily.
