This repository shows how to use Google Cloud Platform (GCP) public cloud services to scale sets of bioinformatics data analysis tasks. This Repo uses cloud best practices for GCP. All examples use genomic sample (input) data, tools and pipelines. Use cases included here as examples are called by any and all of the following terms:
- genomic-scale data workflows or pipelines
- bioinformatics primary, secondary or tertiary analysis
- distributed cloud-based batch jobs
This content is intended for researchers - in particular, this guide is for those who are NEW to working with GCP. You have a number of options on how to use the materials provided in this course. A summary is shown below left.
This Repo includes content you can read, watch or run:
