Problem addressed
Standardization, harmonization and analysis of sensitive data (cancer research data). Both environments have high Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs), Galaxy is TRL 9 while different OpenVRE instances vary from TRLs 7 to 9. The key element is the harmonization and standardization of relevant datasets before they can be individually or jointly analyzed using those environments. Both Galaxy and openVRE are open-source developments following best practices – including the fact of having source-code repositories. Thus, the project aims to have a collection of analytical workflows and other elements, e.g. cBioPortal, to facilitate the analysis of cancer-related data. Beyond having two environments, provide a collection of workflows for the analysis of cancer-related data.
