An Introduction to ISB-CGC
With a combination of custom developed and existing Google Cloud tools such as BigQuery and Compute Engine ISB Cancer Gateway in the Cloud (ISB-CGC) assists a variety of users – from bench biologists, to computational scientists, to algorithm developers. We hope this overview of our platform inspires you to explore the many cloud based resources available for cancer research.
A Video Walkthrough of ISB-CGC and CRDC Resources
A video walkthrough of the Cancer Research Data Commons and the ISB-CGC. This walkthrough gives a short introduction to the resources available at the Genomic, Proteomic, and Imaging Data Commons. We demonstrate the ISB-CGC BigQuery ecosystem as well as possible benefits of using BQ and SQL to perform bioinformatics in the cloud.
How to Sign Up with a Google Account
This video will show you the steps necessary to sign up and link your google cloud project (GCP) to an ISB-CGC account. This enables you export to BigQuery tables and read and write to cloud buckets, including many other features.
How to Build a Cohort
In this video, we use the cohort builder to generate lists of cases (patients) based on various clinical and molecular features. Cohorts are saved and accessible as a list in the user's 'Saved Cohorts' panel (found in top level menu) and is the first step in any downstream analysis.
