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 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.

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.

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.
