With Azure, customers can dedicate more time and resources to their research and products and worry less on the migration to the cloud.
Microsoft Genomics Service
Turnkey Azure service for secondary analysis of genomics data using Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA) and the Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK). Microsoft Genomics service provides on-demand scalability and easy-to-use API integration. It is ISO-certified and covered by Microsoft HIPAA BAA.
Cromwell on Azure
Cromwell is a scientific workflow management system developed by the Broad Institute. With Cromwell on Azure, researchers can now scale their genomics and data science pipelines using the hyperscale compute capabilities on Azure.
GA4GH TES on Azure
GA4GH Task Execution Service (TES) API is an effort to define a standardized schema and API for describing batch execution tasks. A task defines a set of input files, a set of (Docker) containers and commands to run, a set of output files, and some other logging and metadata. This is the Azure implementation of the TES and is used by Cromwell on Azure.
Terra
Terra is a scalable, secure research platform, jointly developed by The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Microsoft, and Verily to help biomedical researchers accelerate scientific discoveries.
