In this guest blog post, Tiffany Miller describes an analysis project she undertook in Terra in collaboration with her colleague Mark Walker, in which they applied a metagenomic approach to identify viral insertion sites in human genome sequencing data […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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.
