Query of the Month

Welcome to the ‘Query of the Month’ where we’ll be creating a collection of new and interesting queries to demonstrate the powerful combination of BigData from the NCI cancer programs like TCGA, and BigQuery from Google.

NOTE! We mostly spend time producing notebooks for our community collection. Check it out: https://github.com/isb-cgc/Community-Notebooks ReadTheDocs: https://isb-cancer-genomics-cloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sections/HowTos.html

Query of the Month is produced by the ISB-CGC team, with special effort by:

  • David L Gibbs (david.gibbs ( ~ at ~ ) systemsbiology ( ~ dot ~ ) org)

  • Kawther Abdilleh (kawther.abdilleh ( ~ at ~ ) gdit (~ dot ~) com)
