The Cancer Genomics Cloud Pilot Projects, funded by the National Cancer Institute, are available to explore the paradigm of colocalizing massive genomics datasets, like The Cancer Genomics Atlas (TCGA), alongside secure and scalable computational resources to analyze them and to apply cloud-scale technologies to increase NCI genomics data value. The Institute for Systems Biology has established one of the Cloud Pilots and will be presenting an overview.
What: ISB-GCG Cloud Pilot: Overview and making the most of BigQuery Where: Bldg 37, Room 4041/4107 When: Friday, November 18, 2:00pm-4:00pm This seminar will be two seminars in one. In the first hour of the seminar, Dr. Todd Pihl will will present a general overview, meant for biologists and informatics folks alike, of the features of the ISB Cancer Cloud Pilot including a tour of the web interface and capabilities to investigate TCGA data and a brief introduction on how to interact with the system programmatically. The second hour of the seminar is meant for an informatics audience and will focus on usage of Google’s BigQuery system to query and analyze TCGA data. This overview will be independent of any programming language and instead focus on understanding how to use the various parts of BigQuery. You are welcome to attend all or just part of the session based on interest. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer this as a webinar. Feel free to contact me if you have questions or comments. Thanks, Sean
