Result description
There will be two different virtual research environments (1 based in Galaxy and 1 based in OpenVRE) to facilitate the analysis of cancer research data. Both environments are already in production and specific instances for EOSC4Cancer will be created if necessary. Both environments will support the use of FAIR by design workflows, software and data.
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.
