We received high interest in this event and want to accommodate as many participants as possible. If you have not confirmed your spot by May 13th at 9pm it may be given to someone else.

DATA ACCESS

The patient data is uploaded to our Google Cloud account and we are creating individual projects within that account to provide team access. We have received some requests to download the data for use on external clusters. Please email us directly for support on that.

TCGA data is available via TCGA's data portal Please note, many files are restricted access. SVAI is not able to grant access to the restricted data. Some of you may have access to these files through your research affiliations and institutions.

GOOGLE CLOUD

Please create a Google Cloud Account. Google has provided us with $120,000 in cloud credits for our research series, Yay! During this weekend, most of you will be working under SVAI's Google Cloud account and all the computational power you use will debit from of our account.
