BRC Analytics

Analytics for pathogen, host, and vector data

Comprehensive tools and workflows for exploring and interpreting genomic annotations and functional insights into disease-causing organisms and their carriers

Get started

October 30th Q&A webinar video available

Video is now available for the BRC Analytics webinar that took place on Oct 30 where we introduced workflows and Galaxy integration.

Also, mentioned in the webinar is a survey which will help us direct early development efforts and provide direction for the next webinar.

BRC Q&A webinar video available

On Friday, October 4, we hosted a video webinar Q&A about BRC Analytics where we discussed the future of the project and encouraged interested people to get involved in planning for next steps. A video of that webinar (w/auto-generated captions) is available on YouTube.

Share your usage and join our advisory panel

BRC Analytics is actively evolving to provide comprehensive data access and analytical tools for all 785 eukaryotic pathogens, host taxa, and vectors previously supported by VEuPathDB. We need your help to improve—share your usage patterns and join our design advisory panel to help shape the future of the platform.

Get Involved

BRC Analytics allows you to analyze your own data in the genomic context of numerous pathogen, host, or vector organisms.

What is BRC Analytics?

BRC Analytics pairs official genomic data provided by the NCBI Datasets and UCSC Genome Browser with unlimited analytical capacity of Galaxy Platform powered by the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC).

We are starting with a small number of pathogen and host genomes to flesh out the full functionality of the system. We will then expand to all genomes that are available at the VEuPathDb system and beyond. Note that we can add any genome to the system as long it is officially released. You can submit your own requests for additional datasets at help@brc-analytics.org

I used to rely on VEuPathDB to perform my analyses. Now that it is no longer available, what can I do? Many types of analyses are possible via integration with the Galaxy system while we continue to build this new BRC resource.

BRC Analytics will provide access to genomic data and an analytical environment. The data will be based on the official releases provided by NCBI Datasets and deployed through the UCSC Genome Browser. The analytics will be provided by the Galaxy system supported by powerful computational infrastructure provided by the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) and ACCESS-CI consortium.
