Cloud Resources Analytical Tools

The CRDC Cloud Resources (CRs) offer thousands of publicly available analytical tools and features of interest to researchers with varying skills and needs.  

Broad Institute FireCloud (FC) and Seven Bridges Cancer Genomics Cloud, powered by Velsera (SB-CGC) offer extensive repositories of pre-built tools and workflows in Workflow Definition Language (WDL) and  Common Workflow Language (CWL), respectively.  

ISB Cancer Gateway in the Cloud (ISB-CGC) is based on its Google BigQuery tool and is designed for users looking to use derived data in BigQuery tables.
