Genomespace:
In their words:
"GenomeSpace is a cloud-based interoperability framework to support
integrative genomics analysis through an easy-to-use Web interface.
GenomeSpace provides access to a diverse range of bioinformatics tools, and
bridges the gaps between the tools, making it easy to leverage the
available analyses and visualizations in each of them. ... On April 25 of
2012, we released an open source, proof-of-principle beta version of
GenomeSpace and announced its availability at the Bio-IT World conference.
The initial tools were: Cytoscape, Galaxy, GenePattern, Genomica,
Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV),and the UCSC Genome Table Browser."
To see the full list of currently available tools, go here:
www.genomespace.org/support/tools
As much as I love genomics and open source, I can't think of anything to
say that they don't say better. They are an active and growing community,
with new tools and features being added on a regular basis. Most recently,
they added a connection to Dropbox, so you can load files there and then
analyze them with the tools in Genomespace. Pretty awesome.
There are some other cloud-based genomics resources, but this one is
non-commercial, open source, funded by NGHRI (US government), a
collaboration of many of the major labs in genomics research, and supported
by Amazon. It's got everything going for it!
