This repository shows how to use Google Cloud Platform (GCP) public cloud services to scale sets ofbioinformatics data analysis tasks. This Repo uses cloud best practices for GCP. All examples usegenomic sample (input) data, tools and pipelines. Use cases included here as examples are called by any and all of the following terms:

• genomic-scale data workflows or pipelines
• bioinformatics primary, secondary or tertiary analysis
• distributed cloud-based batch jobs

This content is intended for researchers - in particular, this guide is for those who areNEW to working with GCP. You have a number of options on how to use the materials provided in this course. A summary is shown below left.

This Repo includes content you can read, watch or run:

• 📗READ - one page of this Repo (MD page)
• 📺WATCH - linked YouTube screencasts
• 📙RUN - Jupyter Notebook example
• TRY - linked GitHub Repos
• 📘EXPAND - linked (external) resources
• 🔍SCAN - search a list in this Repo

NOTE: If you are looking for AWS guidance, see my'aws-for-bioinformatics' Repo/Course atlink

⭐️SAVE MONEY run (and pay for) scalable analysis jobs only when you need to run them
⭐️SAVE TIME use vendor-managed infrastructure & best-practice patterns for fast repeatable research
