Using Google Compute EngineΒΆ

For those ISB-CGC users whose research goals require the ability to run large compute jobs, all of the power and infrastructure behind Google Compute (Compute Engine, Container Engine, Dataproc, and Dataflow) and Google Genomics, are at your disposal.

Our goal is to help you assemble the tools and data (TCGA data, your data, reference data, etc) that you need to answer your research questions in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible.

Towards that end, we have created a github repository called examples-Compute with examples to get you started. This repository will continue to grow and we welcome your contributions and suggestions. You can also find a number of useful recipes in the Google Genomics Cookbook, also here on readthedocs.

For an introduction to using Google Compute Engine, please follow the link below.
