Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for Bioinformatics

This repository shows how to use ☁️ Google Cloud Platform public cloud services to scale bioinformatics data analysis tasks using cloud best practices for GCP. This use cases featured as exampled are called any and all of the following: genomic-scale data workflows, pipelines, analysis or batch jobs.

This content is intended for researchers - in particular, this guide is for those who are NEW to working with GCP.
You have a number of options on how to use the materials provided in this course. A summary is shown below left.

This Repo includes content you can read, watch or run:

  • 📗 READ - one page of this Repo (MD page)
  • 📺 WATCH - linked YouTube screencasts
  • 📙 RUN - Jupyter Notebook example
  • :octocat: TRY - linked GitHub Repos
  • 📘 EXPAND - linked (external) resources
  • 🔍 SCAN - search a list in this Repo

NOTE: If you would like to learn more advanced concepts (including script examples and patterns) about working with Google Cloud Platform, see my Repo gcp-essentails --> link

TIP: If you are NEW to bioinformatics and have a computational background...

Welcome to GCP for Bioinformatics


Why would I choose to use a public cloud vendor for bioinformatics?

⭐️ SAVE MONEY run (and pay for) scalable analysis jobs only when you need to run them
⭐️ SAVE TIME use vendor-managed infrastructure & best-practice patterns for fast repeatable research
