A team of researchers from across the nation, led by Baltimore-based Johns Hopkins computer scientists, have created a cloud-based platform, granting genomics researchers access to one of the largest genome datasets.

The platform, called AnVIL, will allow any researcher access to thousands of analysis tools, patient records and over 300,000 genomes, according to a Jan. 12 news release from EurekAlert.

Typically, genomic researchers have to download vast amounts of data from centralized sources. This proves time-consuming and inefficient, and makes cross-institutional collaboration difficult. It also provides more opportunity for security breaches with every download and data transfer. AnVIL solves this problem by allowing any researcher with internet access to use the platform simultaneously, removing the need to download...
