How does Cancer Genomics Cloud benefit researchers?
Researchers benefit from the CGC in several ways:
Access to Data: Researchers have access to vast amounts of genomic data, including datasets from large consortia like TCGA, which can be used to validate findings and identify new research directions. Cost-Effectiveness: By using cloud resources, researchers can avoid the high costs associated with maintaining local computational infrastructure. Enhanced Collaboration: The CGC's collaborative features enable researchers from different institutions to work together more effectively, sharing data and insights in real-time. Advanced Analysis: The availability of powerful computational tools and workflows allows researchers to perform complex analyses that would be challenging or impossible with limited local resources.
