BIRN Genomics WG presents talk at the 2013 Clinical Genome Conference in San Francisco, June 26

Filed under: News

On behalf of the BIRN Genomics working group, Ivo Dinov and Fabio Macciardi are presenting an invited talk, Analytical Pipeline Workflows, Resource Interoperability and Processing of “Big” Genomics Data, at a session on The Science of Investigation and Interpretation at the 2013 Clinical Genome Conference on June 26 in San Francisco. This conference explores best practices and solutions for interpreting, storing and sharing a patient’s genomic data. The following is an abstract:

A critical component of all modern genomics studies is the ability to efficiently process high-throughput sequence data. Such genomics computing tasks require reliable cloud data management solutions, distributed computational services and effective user interfaces. The Pipeline Environment is a free workflow application enabling the navigation, exploration and discovery of available end-to-end workflow solutions, design of new computational modules, processing of graphical protocols and execution and monitoring of complex heterogeneous analyses. The Pipeline library includes Imaging and NGS Analysis Pipeline Workflows based on a wide range of tools, e.g., BLAST, EMBOSS, mrFAST, GWASS, PLINK, R, MAQ, SAMtools, Bowtie, CNVer, QC, GATK, FreeSurfer, FSL, LONI, DTK, etc.
