Cancer Data Analytics on the ISB-CGC platform
By
Kawther Abdilleh Ph.D. Bioinformatics Scientist, GDIT, ISB-CGC
Fabian Seidl Ph.D. Bioinformatics Scientist, GDIT, ISB-CGC
Abstract:
The ISB Cancer Genomics Cloud (ISB-CGC) is one of three Cancer Cloud Resources
funded by the National Cancer Institute, serving to democratize access to large
cancer datasets as well as high-performance compute resources on the Google
Cloud Platform. With a focus on Data as a Service (DaaS), the ISB-CGC offers
multiple avenues for accessing and analyzing large-scale cancer datasets
including TCGA, TARGET and other important references such as GENCODE and
COSMIC. ISB-CGC is intentionally designed as an open platform allowing a wide
range of users with diverse skill sets to choose approaches best suited to
their tasks at hand. Users can analyze petabytes of data using complex
workflows written in the workflow language of their choice (including but not
limited to CWL, WDL, Snakemake, Nextflow, etc). They can develop new analysis
methods in common languages such as Python, R, and SQL, conduct multivariate
data analysis on easily accessible and query-able tables of large-scale cancer
data, and use interactive web tools designed for cohort creation and data
discovery and exploration. Here we will demonstrate how the flexible computing
infrastructure of ISB-CGC enables researchers to analyze cloud hosted data with
their own tools as well as with a collection of powerful Google Cloud Platform
native tools and technologies (including Google BigQuery for big data analysis
and Google Compute Engine for complex workflow execution).
