BDC-Seven Bridges

About Seven Bridges

BDC-Seven Bridges offers researchers collaborative workspaces for analyzing genomics data at scale. Researchers can find and analyze hosted studies by using hundreds of optimized analysis tools and workflows (pipelines); creating their own workflows; or interactive analysis. On the platform, researchers can utilize collaborative workspaces for analyzing genomics data at scale, and access hosted datasets along with Common Workflow Language (CWL) and GENESIS R package pipelines for analysis. This platform also enables users to bring their own data for analysis and work in RStudio and Jupyterlab Notebooks for interactive analysis.

Key Features

• Private, secure, workspaces (projects) for running analyses at scale

• Collaboration features with the ability to set granular permissions on project members

• Direct access to BDC without needing to set up a Google or AWS billing account

• Access hosted TOPMed studies all in one place and analyze data on the cloud at scale

• Tools and features for performing multiple-variant and single-variant association studies including:

  • Annotation Explorer for variant aggregations

  • Cloud-optimized Genesis R package workflows in Common Workflow Language

• Cohort creation by searching phenotype data

  • Use PIC-SURE API for searching phenotype data

  • Search by known dbGaP identifiers

• Rstudio and Jupyterlab Notebooks built directly into the platform for easy interactive analysis and manipulation of phenotype data

• Hosted TOPMed data you can combine with your own data on AWS or Google Cloud

• Billing and administrative controls to help your research funding go further: avoid forgotten instances, abort infinite loops, get usage breakdowns by project.
