Future Plans

We expect that our future plans will continually evolve based on user feedback, research priorities, and the dynamic nature of the Google Cloud Platform. Tell us what is important to you at feedback@isb-cgc.org

Near-Term

  • Enable access to controlled data in GCS by authorized users (January)
  • Upload new data from CGHub into GCS (February)
  • New set of BigQuery tables based on new data at the TCGA DCC (March)
  • Upload TCGA MC3 VCF files from TCGA DCC into GCS (?)

Longer-Term

  • Import a subset of VCF files and sequence-level data into Google Genomics
