SYNOPSIS:

The Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) Cancer Genomics Cloud (ISB-CGC) is one of three pilot projects funded by the NCI with the goal of democratizing access to the TCGA data by substantially lowering the barriers to accessing and computing over this rich dataset. The ISB-CGC is a cloud-based platform that will serve as a large-scale data repository for TCGA data, while also providing the computational infrastructure and interactive exploratory tools necessary to carry out cancer genomics research at unprecedented scales. The ISB-CGC will provide interactive and programmatic access to the TCGA data, leveraging many aspects of Google Cloud Platform including BigQuery and Compute Engine. The ISB-CGC aims to serve the needs of a broad range of cancer researchers ranging from scientists or clinicians who prefer to use an interactive web-based application to access and explore the rich TCGA dataset, to computational scientists who want to write their own custom scripts using languages such as R or Python, accessing the data through APIs, to algorithm developers who want to spin up thousands of virtual machines to analyze hundreds of terabytes of sequence data. The ISB-CGC will allow scientists to interactively define and compare cohorts, examine the underlying molecular data for specific genes or pathways of interest, and share insights with collaborators around the globe.
