Summary
The National Cancer Institute's Cloud Resources (CR) offer cloud-based tools and workspaces for analyzing large cancer datasets. Researchers can access, analyze, and integrate their own data within the Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC) ecosystem.
Area of Science:
- Bioinformatics
- Computational Biology
- Cancer Research
Background:
- The Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC) ecosystem facilitates cancer data analysis.
- Cloud Resources (CR) are key analytical components within the CRDC.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the functionalities of the three NCI Cloud Resources.
- To highlight how CRs enable cloud-hosted cancer data analysis and integration.
Main Methods:
- Review of the NCI Cloud Resources: Broad Institute FireCloud, ISB Cancer Gateway, and Seven Bridges Cancer Genomics Cloud.
- Description of CR capabilities for data access, analysis, and user data integration.
Main Results:
- The three CRs provide access to large, multimodal cancer datasets hosted in the cloud.
- Users can perform in-situ data analysis without needing to download or store data.
- Researchers can upload their own data and tools to create custom analysis workflows.
Conclusions:
- NCI Cloud Resources empower researchers with scalable tools for cancer data analysis.
- The CRDC ecosystem, through its CRs, supports collaborative and integrated cancer research.
- These cloud platforms facilitate advanced computational analysis of complex cancer datasets.

01:21Cancer Survival Analysis
345
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

02:43Mouse Models of Cancer Study
5.5K
Mice have long served as models for studying human biology and pathology because of their phylogenetic and physiological similarity with humans. They are also easy to maintain and breed in the laboratory, and hence, many inbred strains are now available for research. Studies on mice have contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cancer biology.
The development of transgenic, knockout, and knock-in mice has led to an exponential increase in their use as model organisms in research,...

Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

02:49Cancer Therapies
7.7K
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
