Mission Statement
- Design hardware architecture, acquire and install hardware
- Install, configure and monitor the virtual compute software environment (OpenStack and CEPH)
- Upload curated ICGC datasets to the Collaboratory
- Develop software solution to support data search and secure access, interoperability between Collaboratory compute centers, and cost recovery based on resource usage
- Create a repository of shareable and easy-to-install data analytic tools (dockstore.org)

Outcomes
This core enables the scientific community to exploit the ICGC cancer genome data sets and catalyze many novel and innovative research findings. The core will pioneer the use of cloud computing to facilitate community-based analysis of large genomic data sets, and will serve as a first test bed for the standards promulgated by the Global Alliance for Genomic Health.
Software
-
Our software solution for storing and accessing ICGC data on the Collaboratory
-
A universal client for downloading ICGC data from the Collaboratory and other supported repositories
-
A library of tools that can be run on the Collaboratory or elsewhere
