A Scalable approach to Personal FAIR Data Management and Analysis
|
Our aim is to extend myFAIR Analysis into a cloud based service that can be executed using the advanced INDIGO PaaS services on-top of any ELIXIR Compute Platform cloud resource. This approach will enable the advanced features provided by INDIGO to be made accessible to the whole of ELIXIR by porting them on the standard ECP cloud resource. The utility of this myFAIR cloud will be demonstrated using existing validated test case scenarios (e.g. Mothur-SOP and/or EGA), and building towards providing myFAIR Analysis as a research service CLOUD (myFAIR CLOUD Analysis) supporting single/multi-user and single/multi-center for FAIR data management and analysis. Impact of the Study:

AAI engagement (2022-23)
|
The AAI task proposes to diversify the ELIXIR Compute Platform task 1 and the AAI IS 2021-2023 as follows:
The task could remain to be hosted at CZ and FI Nodes - but not necessarily led by the same people as the IS. This enables widening the participation in the CZ and FI nodes and guarantees that the engagement activities do not risk the resources allocated to the AAI service operations (through the IS and EOSC-Life projects). |

Annotation and curation of human genomic variations (2018-Variations)
|
This implementation study aims to understand the existing infrastructure, resources and protocols for human genome variation annotation and curation. Work focuses on processes that can be automated to support interpretation of high-throughput genome sequencing results. The outcome will be a report that describes the current status within ELIXIR member states, identified requirements and potential solutions. The report will be part of the ELIXIR Human Genomics and Translational Data Services strategy and roadmap. This project coordinates with ELIXIR Data Platform on surveys regarding data archives and other resources. It also consults with Compute and Tools Platforms on potential models for resourcing, scaling and providing portable tools based on the identified requirements for running data analysis workflows. The aim is also to work in close collaboration with the ELIXIR Interoperability Platform to understand the future requirements on managing variation annotation and their interpretation. This implementation study will also aim to support the coordination between ELIXIR Human Genomics and Translational Data use case and the relevant GA4GH technical work streams. The expected outcome is a better alignment of ELIXIR activities with those in the GA4GH and direct communication with relevant resources outside of ELIXIR such as ClinVar. |

Architecture for Software Containers at ELIXIR and its use by EXCELERATE Use Case Communities
|
The aim of this implementation study is to provide a stable infrastructure for unifying software containers solutions within ELIXIR. This infrastructure will provide an access point for end-users to find, generate, store, monitor, and even benchmark software containers solutions. Hardware infrastructure will be provided by an ELIXIR Node from the ELIXIR Compute Platform for software containers deployment while ELIXIR-ES will provide the backup system using EUDAT protocols and infrastructures. In the long-term this registry could become a relying service to the ELIXIR AAI allowing infrastructures to manage users accounts. The impact of this infrastructure will be demonstrated across ELIXIR Platforms and Use Cases. Software containers are a key technology which enables the rapid deployment of software resources including workflows across a variety of systems e.g. HPC, Cloud environments, and local computers; and the connection with existing database repositories. Additionally, this technology will be used to support training activities carried out by ELIXIR, where trainers will be able to focus on the training content rather than in the technological framework of the training, during face to face or remote sessions. Such a leading role on the development of this infrastructure will greatly increase ELIXIR's visibility across many domains of life sciences and even beyond. The coordinated effort to develop this infrastructure is similar to previous efforts carried out in ELIXIR, such as the Beacon Project and Bioschemas and will also link into work taking place in the ELIXIR Compute and Interoperability Platforms in coordination with the GA4GH. |

Comparison, benchmarking and dissemination of proteomics data analysis pipelines
|
This project will be led by the ELIXIR Proteomics Community in collaboration with members of the Metabolomics Community and three ELIXIR platforms. High-throughput proteomics has become a popular choice in biological, biomedical and clinical studies and led to the development of hundreds of bioinformatics tools and data analysis pipelines. Given their large diversity, there is a urgent need to compare and benchmark different software pipelines over a large data spectrum. This study aims to create the framework to benchmark proteomics data analysis workflows, to be built upon and improve resources from ELIXIR Tool, Data and Compute platforms by creating an interface between them linked with public proteomics data and open source stand-alone software and pipelines. The involved data will be annotated with at least EOSC minimum information according to ELIXIR metadata standards. Our benchmarking will identify robust workflows and therefore nurture the proteomics community with high quality standards required for reproducible research and clinical applications. |

High-throughput proteomics has become a popular choice in biological, biomedical and clinical studies and led to the development of hundreds of bioinformatics tools and data analysis pipelines. Given their large diversity, there is a urgent need to compare and benchmark different software pipelines over a large data spectrum. This study aims to create the framework to benchmark proteomics data analysis workflows, to be built upon and improve resources from ELIXIR Tool, Data and Compute platforms by creating an interface between them linked with public proteomics data and open source stand-alone software and pipelines. The involved data will be annotated with at least EOSC minimum information according to ELIXIR metadata standards. Our benchmarking will identify robust workflows and therefore nurture the proteomics community with high quality standards required for reproducible research and clinical applications. |

Compatible Cloud Analysis Platform
|
We propose to reduce complexity for users by providing a Task Execution Platform (compatible with standards emerging from the GA4GH) that can encompass distributed sites in the ELIXIR Compute Platform with appropriate management interfaces that can abstract the user away from some of this complexity. Experience has shown that the acquisition and access of cloud resources can have a high overhead for end-users, e.g. finding the ‘right’ cloud service provider, negotiating or paying for access, porting your application to that cloud service provider etc. This Implementation Study will contribute to the GA4GH Cloud WG specification discussions and ensure ELIXIR AAI is compatible with these GA4GH specifications and is integrated into the ‘Toil’ framework .The Study will deploy the GA4GH compatible ‘Toil’ framework centrally and TES endpoints at sites within the ECP, and operate analysis platform as a prototype service to a set of science use cases who are willing to provide CWL coordinated containerised task based workflows. |

This study aims to coordinate the provision and operation of a standards-compliant container orchestration platform. This will allow execution of containerised software tools and workflow workloads supporting public and sensitive data across ELIXIR Nodes. The study will enable containers to be deployed and operated at scale and across cloud systems through the container orchestration platform in standardised formats which will:
This Task coordinates ELIXIR Compute Platform’s (ECP) expertise and resources to leverage the technology development in other funded projects in order to provide high-level, community-driven orchestration of containers across ELIXIR Nodes. This will allow standardised, containerised and community-driven software applications to be hosted on ELIXIR Nodes and ELIXIR cloud infrastructures. The target is to provide a high-level abstraction layer to the underlying integrated technological components provided by Tasks 1, 2 and 3. WP4.1: Coordinate an ELIXIR container platform to allow execution of containerised software workflow loads developed with the ELIXIR Tools platform ecosystemLead: Susheel Varma (EMBL-EBI) This task will coordinate the provision of a standards compatible platform that can be offered to users to execute and manage the lifecycle of their containers on cloud platforms. These will be made available from ELIXIR Nodes and later on European e-Infrastructures.

This study aims to coordinate the provision and operation of a standards-compliant container orchestration platform. This will allow execution of containerised software tools and workflow workloads supporting public and sensitive data across ELIXIR Nodes. The study will enable containers to be deployed and operated at scale and across cloud systems through the container orchestration platform in standardised formats which will:
This Task coordinates ELIXIR Compute Platform’s (ECP) expertise and resources to leverage the technology development in other funded projects in order to provide high-level, community-driven orchestration of containers across ELIXIR Nodes. This will allow standardised, containerised and community-driven software applications to be hosted on ELIXIR Nodes and ELIXIR cloud infrastructures. The target is to provide a high-level abstraction layer to the underlying integrated technological components provided by Tasks 1, 2 and 3. WP4.1: Coordinate an ELIXIR container platform to allow execution of containerised software workflow loads developed with the ELIXIR Tools platform ecosystemLead: Susheel Varma (EMBL-EBI) This task will coordinate the provision of a standards compatible platform that can be offered to users to execute and manage the lifecycle of their containers on cloud platforms. These will be made available from ELIXIR Nodes and later on European e-Infrastructures. This platform will be offered to end-users (application developers in this example) through standards compliant APIs deployed in front of the individual cloud providers. WP4.2: Access to sensitive datasets with containersLead: Shubham Kapoor (ELIXIR FI) This task will provide analysis pipelines as a service using containers that are able to process sensitive data using the ELIXIR security guidelines. |

Data Integration for Compute
|
The goal of this study is to host and provide standardised compute access to important public reference and sensitive data sets in relevant (cloud) providers such that:
Many bioinformatics analysis activities are dependent on reference data sets to undertake their work. Transferring data sets on demand will delay the start of any analysis activity as moving large data sets does not happen instantly. Instead, pre-caching relevant data sets on popular cloud resources mean that they are already available when they are needed. This involves three tasks: WP2.1: Provisioning of federated storage namespaceLead: Christine Staiger (ELIXIR NL) Provide a location-independent mechanism for identifying data that can then be resolved to the location(s) of the data in the physical infrastructure. This will allow a researcher to find where a specific data set is located and to decide if they are able to move their workload to this data location, or if a data transfer Site-2-Site is needed prior to starting computations. WP2.2: Site-2-Site Data TransfersLead: Andrea Cristofori (EMBL-EBI) The Reference Data Set Distribution Service (RDSDS) or other complementary methods, if needed (e.g. BioMaj) for site-to-site transfer will be used to allow sites to subscribe to specific public data sets that can be provisioned onto their cloud resources at the specified location, and when a new version of a given public data set is made available. Sensitive data sets will be made available through a secure cloud environment whereby the data set can be hosted securely in the remote cloud environment and remain encrypted in situ. The rights to access to the sensitive data is verified each time the data is accessed by the user. An ELIXIR webinar introduced the proposed technologies for secure data transfer between two ELIXIR nodes in May 2018. WP2.3: Site-2-User Data TransferLead: Giacinto Donvito (ELIXIR IT) Provide a means for large data sets to be delivered asynchronously from their source to where a user needs them for their analysis. |

ELIXIR AAI Service Plan 2019-2020
|
ELIXIR AAI (Authentication and Authorisation Infrastructure) is the ELIXIR Infrastructure Service for authenticating researchers and enabling ELIXIR services to define user permissions for a given service (access rights). The ELIXIR AAI is coordinated by the ELIXIR Compute Platform and has received funding from ELIXIR-EXCELERATE WP4.3.1 and the AAI Implementation Studies in 2017 and 2018 [2, 3]. In June 2016, the ELIXIR Head of Nodes Committee agreed on the ELIXIR AAI strategy [1] that:
In 2017, the AAI Implementation Study [1] focused on preparing the AAI as an emerging service by providing a service definition, cost estimates, service desk and a redundant environment for key functionalities. During 2018, other research infrastructures have also started to evaluate and in some cases implement ELIXIR AAI, e.g. EuroBioImaging. In the preparations of the EOSC-Life project, key life science infrastructures have agreed on a convergence towards a Life Science (LS) AAI, to be built using ELIXIR AAI and coordinated by ELIXIR (with assignment as Work Package co-lead in the EOSC-Life proposal). AimsIn 2019-2020, the AAI Implementation Study aims to:
The processes that continue to require decision-making by ELIXIR, e.g., related to membership, or specific access to compute services or data, will continue to be defined and operated through ELIXIR. However, it is envisaged that technical AAI components required to run these processes could be outsourced to trusted partners, where appropriate, as part of the evolution from ELIXIR AAI to LS AAI. Relation to other projectsIn the near future, several funding sources are assumed for different activities related to ELIXIR AAI. We note that at least some of these funding sources, related to the ELIXIR-specific requirements, are expected to continue beyond the point at which LS AAI is in full production. In the allocation of funding sources to different activities, the following principles have been assumed in this Implementation Study Project Plan: Persistent funding to be used for recurring and permanent costs, project funding for one-off costs. This Implementation Study is proposed to cover annually recurring ELIXIR AAI and coordination costs, as these are distinct from wider implementations including the LS AAI. While for the next 4 years the core funding for LS AAI is expected to be covered through the ESOC-Life project, we assume continuing support of ELIXIR-specific AAI services and processes through permanent funding as an Infrastructure Service in the long term. This Infrastructure Service support will continue to be required after the end of EOSC-Life. We expect other external project funding, including EOSC-Life (excluding LS AAI operations), other H2020 projects, and further ELIXIR Implementation Studies will be deployed to resource the development of new features. Using project funding to cover recurring costs is not deemed sustainable. After migration to Life Science AAI some ELIXIR-specific components and processes will remain. Although core features and functionality of the ELIXIR AAI are expected to migrate to the Life Science AAI during the project, it is foreseen that there will be some ELIXIR-specific parts and activities that will continue to be managed by ELIXIR directly, in common with other Research Infrastructures (RIs) with ongoing RI-specific requirements. |

ELIXIR Cloud on Azure: Delivering Hybrid Cloud Use Cases based on the GA4GH Task Execution Service API Standard
|
The ELIXIR Cloud is an emerging ELIXIR Compute-based cloud infrastructure that delivers federated analytics use cases based on Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) API standards. We have recently demonstrated how researchers can leverage ELIXIR Cloud services to deliver computational workloads across heterogeneous compute infrastructures (HPC, native cloud) at different ELIXIR Nodes via the GA4GH Task Execution Service (TES) API specification and its TESK (maintained by ELIXIR Compute) and Funnel implementations. Experimental GA4GH TES backends are implemented in various workflow engines, including cwl-tes, Nextflow, Snakemake, Cromwell and Galaxy. To distribute individual workflow tasks across a network of TES instances in an effort to “bring compute to the data”, the ELIXIR Cloud includes the proTES gateway service, which distributes incoming TES tasks across a network of TES instances. In this project, we will extend the capabilities of the ELIXIR Cloud such that ELIXIR researchers can run a wide range of workflows either entirely or partially on Microsoft Azure via its open-sourced native TES implementation (“hybrid cloud”). Researchers at ELIXIR Nodes will thus be able to outscale workloads to a state-of-the-art public cloud environment, either to meet peak compute demands or to access hardware that is currently unavailable at a local or at an available ELIXIR Cloud node. Moreover, through the use of the TES, as well as the GA4GH Workflow Execution Service (WES) API, which abstracts across workflow engines such as the ones mentioned above, ELIXIR services can easily integrate with the ELIXIR Cloud to make use of the hybrid cloud capabilities. The project will also strengthen the ongoing collaboration on the development of the GA4GH Cloud standards between ELIXIR Compute and Microsoft by increasing interoperability between our respective implementations. A fruitful collaboration on the use of the GA4GH TES API is likely to lead to a long-term collaboration on co-developing related solutions across various dimensions, including access control, smart distribution of workloads and integration of workflow federation via the GA4GH WES API. |

ELIXIR Hybrid Cloud
|
This study aims to coordinate technical, operational and funding aspects of cloud, data and compute services across Europe for the ELIXIR and larger Life Science community within a seamless hybrid cloud ecosystem. It will implement a hybrid cloud ecosystem interoperable with key resources that is accessible to researchers spanning:
e-Infrastructures are becoming more flexible via virtualisation. This allows contemporary biological research projects with large processing and storage requirements to leverage their capacities. The technical challenges of large scale cloud development for research will be addressed within the EOSC umbrella, whereas the ELIXIR Compute Platform, while already involved, will be a participant only. However, there are non-technical challenges of the cloud infrastructure that should be the primary focus of ELIXIR Compute Platform – what is actually needed by the ELIXIR community, how cloud provisioning, the resource access (and allocation) should be organised, who will provide the cloud resources and how the providers should be reimbursed/sustained. The acute problem of cloud resource allocation will be investigated, including the proposal to establish a Resource Allocation Committee (RAC) in the case of commissioned central ELIXIR resources within EOSC-Life. This task, following current and future technology constraints, will organise ELIXIR cloud experts and focus them around the problem of defining the ELIXIR hybrid cloud ecosystem and how it should be coordinated. Initially concerned with ELIXIR’s own requirements, the task will gradually expand to cover the larger Life Science community, similar to the transition of ELIXIR AAI to LS AAI). The task will also work on piloting the proposed approaches, as a part of the EOSC Life program in collaboration with the EOSC Hub and similar future projects; and as a standalone ELIXIR activity, using resources and resource providers of individual ELIXIR Nodes. WP3.1: Definition and evolution of ELIXIR hybrid cloud ecosystemLead: Miroslav Ruda (ELIXIR CZ) This task will determine and establish the strategic principles and sustainability for the ELIXIR hybrid cloud ecosystem, including resourcing, service levels and sustainability. Pilot development will focus on:
The proposal must deal with the different funding strategies while implementing the EOSC governance work on cloud provisioning. In the second iteration, the specific requirements of work with sensitive data must be also included i.e. enhanced information governance, higher cost base, specific technologies deployed etc. WP3.2: Piloting the proposalLead: Chris Lawerenz (DE) This task will run several user-centric and inter-platform pilots using the resources provided by the involved ELIXIR Nodes and also by external EOSC-related resources if provided. The pilots will demonstrate the usability of the proposal to setup the cloud ecosystem for ELIXIR (using the hybrid cloud environment to support (semi)production operation of use cases that are defined in the other parts of the work program). Feedback from these pilots will be used to improve the ELIXIR hybrid cloud ecosystem definition. The selected pilots will serve each year as a Technical demonstrator of the feasibility of the proposed ELIXIR/LS Hybrid cloud ecosystem (resp. Its gradual evolution). |

In the second iteration, the specific requirements of work with sensitive data must be also included i.e. enhanced information governance, higher cost base, specific technologies deployed etc. WP3.2: Piloting the proposalLead: Chris Lawerenz (DE) This task will run several user-centric and inter-platform pilots using the resources provided by the involved ELIXIR Nodes and also by external EOSC-related resources if provided. The pilots will demonstrate the usability of the proposal to setup the cloud ecosystem for ELIXIR (using the hybrid cloud environment to support (semi)production operation of use cases that are defined in the other parts of the work program). Feedback from these pilots will be used to improve the ELIXIR hybrid cloud ecosystem definition. The selected pilots will serve each year as a Technical demonstrator of the feasibility of the proposed ELIXIR/LS Hybrid cloud ecosystem (resp. Its gradual evolution). |

This study aims to coordinate technical, operational and funding aspects of cloud, data and compute services across Europe for the ELIXIR and larger Life Science community within a seamless hybrid cloud ecosystem. It will implement a hybrid cloud ecosystem interoperable with key resources that is accessible to researchers spanning:
e-Infrastructures are becoming more flexible via virtualisation. This allows contemporary biological research projects with large processing and storage requirements to leverage their capacities. The technical challenges of large scale cloud development for research will be addressed within the EOSC umbrella, whereas the ELIXIR Compute Platform, while already involved, will be a participant only. However, there are non-technical challenges of the cloud infrastructure that should be the primary focus of ELIXIR Compute Platform – what is actually needed by the ELIXIR community, how cloud provisioning, the resource access (and allocation) should be organised, who will provide the cloud resources and how the providers should be reimbursed/sustained. The acute problem of cloud resource allocation will be investigated, including the proposal to establish a Resource Allocation Committee (RAC) in the case of commissioned central ELIXIR resources within EOSC-Life. This task, following current and future technology constraints, will organise ELIXIR cloud experts and focus them around the problem of defining the ELIXIR hybrid cloud ecosystem and how it should be coordinated. Initially concerned with ELIXIR’s own requirements, the task will gradually expand to cover the larger Life Science community, similar to the transition of ELIXIR AAI to LS AAI). The task will also work on piloting the proposed approaches, as a part of the EOSC Life program in collaboration with the EOSC Hub and similar future projects; and as a standalone ELIXIR activity, using resources and resource providers of individual ELIXIR Nodes.

ELIXIR proof of concept study on the availability of big datasets on remote compute infrastructure
|
Part of the EOSC-Hub project proposal it to establish an ELIXIR Competency Centre (ECC). The EOSC-Hub proposal is currently under review by the EC and a funding decision is expected around late summer 2017 with a tentative project start date of January 2018. The focus of the ECC is to look at the distribution of reference data sets within the EOSC environment and it is proposed by the Compute Platform ExCo to kick-start the work within the ECC through a proof of concept study (funded by the ELIXIR-Hub) on making big data sets available on remote compute infrastructures. Therefore the overall purpose of this Proof of Concept Study is to bring together funded work already taking place within ELIXIR-Excelerate, EUDAT2020 and the ELIXIR nodes into an integrated activity:
This study is now completed, the work is described in the end report. The outcome of this study is summarised in a webinar: This study is associated with: The use of Cloud & VM for training. |

Enabling the reuse, extension, scaling, and reproducibility of scientific workflows (2018-cwl)
|
The Marine Metagenomics Community has adopted the use of the Common Workflow Language (CWL) as an interoperable way to describe their analysis pipelines. One of the most complex and fully developed CWL workflows implements the EBI metagenomics analysis pipeline. In coordination with MG-RAST, a US based metagenomics analysis pipeline, there are now two different large-scale metagenomics CWL workflows. Each uses a different CWL execution framework (namely Toil and AWE) and are run on different compute infrastructures. During the course of the coming year, the Marine Use Case expects META-pipe (the ELIXIR-NO, marine specific metagenomics pipeline) and other metagenomics related tools (e.g. ITS1 analysis from ELIXIR-IT) to adopt CWL. These additional tools can be used as alternatives for preexisting tools or extend the functionality of the current workflows. This Implementation Study aims to:
To provide an exemplar to both the ELIXIR and the broader scientific communities, we will work through a community case study and ensure that the data, analysis and results conform to a bona fide Research Object (RO), ensuring that they comply with FAIR principles. We will develop appropriate training materials for two key target audiences - producers of (workflows and ROs) and consumers. This study is closely linked with the work of the Bioschemas Community. |

Enabling the reuse, extension, scaling, and reproducibility of scientific workflows (2018-cwl)
|
The Marine Metagenomics Community has adopted the use of the Common Workflow Language (CWL) as an interoperable way to describe their analysis pipelines. One of the most complex and fully developed CWL workflows implements the EBI metagenomics analysis pipeline. In coordination with MG-RAST, a US based metagenomics analysis pipeline, there are now two different large-scale metagenomics CWL workflows. Each uses a different CWL execution framework (namely Toil and AWE) and are run on different compute infrastructures.

Extending open proteomics data analysis pipelines in the cloud: Additional tools and focus on scalability, supporting the dramatic growth of public proteomics data
|
An ELIXIR implementation study started in February 2017, as a collaboration between EMBL-EBI and ELIXIR-DE. Its main objective is to develop open, robust, scalable and reproducible proteomics data analysis workflows based on OpenMS, directly connected to the PRIDE database (an ELIXIR core data resource) and to deploy these pipelines in the EMBL-EBI "Embassy Cloud" as a proof of concept. Building on this work, we here propose a follow-up project that has three objectives:
The overarching goal is that these tools can be deployed in other cloud infrastructures, and can be easily reused by anyone in the community, thus bringing the users closer to the tools, and the tools closer to the data. Impact of the studyThe outcome will be that an increased range of open proteomics tools will be included in an extended range of cloud infrastructures, including new quality control features based on OpenMS. Impact – increased facility for proteomics analysis across multiple cloud platforms – all with increased degree of quality control. |

This study aims to develop, refine and deploy ELIXIR-wide Identity and access management through the ELIXIR AAI Service that will underpin the LifeScience AAI (to be deployed across European research infrastructures and beyond). It will do this by:
It will design KPIs and monitor impact across the tasks to measure success, to include: service usage, number of deployments, community engagement metrics, citations, use of cloud and compute specific metrics including HelpDesk and responsiveness, updates to services. There are three Work Packages (WPs) within the study: WP1.1: Define, operate and continuously upgrade the access and user management system to meet the requirements as describedLead: Michal Prochazka (ELIXIR CZ) This WP will determine the appropriate point when the move (upgrade) from the current ELIXIR AAI can be decided, and moved into the wider Life Science AAI, such that the required components can be operated by the e-infrastructures. When the decision to upgrade is made, the transition will be carried out based on the outcome of the current LS AAI pilot run within the AARC2 project. The selection of involved e-infrastructures is planned as a part of the EOSC Life project. WP1.2: Access to sensitive dataLead: Mikael Linden (ELIXIR FI) This WP will add and strengthen features and components that are needed to provide strong authentication and trusted authorization and access control needed to control access to sensitive data. It will implement the resultant services for a range of Human Data requirements and use cases. WP1.3: Training in AAILead: Dominik František Bučík (ELIXIR CZ) A set of training events dedicated to different target groups (primary researchers, developers and resource owners/providers/implementers) will be organized through the timeframe of the work program. |

Integrating ELIXIR Luxembourg into ELIXIR activities
|
The ELIXIR Luxembourg Node focuses on the development of a European repository of integrated molecular and clinical/translational data, and providing high-performance oriented data access, computing services and long-term sustainability. In this Implementation Study, we will take part in ELIXIR Beacon, Local EGA, ELIXIR AAI and RD-Connect topics under ELIXIR Use Cases - ‘Human Genomics and Translational Data’, ‘Rare Disease’ and the ‘Compute Platform’ . ELIXIR Luxembourg will provide Beacon data-discovery services for genomics data deposited in the Node and ensure a balance between efficient data sharing and data protection. The local EGA facilitates federated data environment, while the ELIXIR AAI provides flexible yet secure authentication and authorisation layer, so that the users from Luxembourg and all ELIXIR Nodes can access all the services in the Luxembourg Node through a single sign-on. ELIXIR Luxembourg also has good working experience with tranSMART, thus this knowledge will be brough to RD-Connect and other similar projects in EXCELERATE and ELIXIR. This study is associated with a number of ELIXIR Platforms, Communities and Projects: |

Bioinformatics analysis typically involves a large number of software and reference data, making the installation process a time-consuming task. This problem is aggravated in a course setting, where every participant needs to have an identical installation, sufficient hardware to run it, and, ideally, access to an identical set-up after the course. Ready-to-run virtual machine (VM) images containing an operating system and pre-installed analysis software, as well as containers, are gaining momentum in bioinformatics. These images and containers can be run on cloud platforms, which allows easy scaling for running tens or hundreds of simultaneous jobs in a course setting. Several ELIXIR Nodes already provide cloud resources for national use. In order to enable also other Nodes to use cloud for training, it is necessary to investigate which of these cloud providers would be willing to provide cloud resources for international use in a sustainable manner. As cloud, VMs and containers are new topics to many bioinformatics trainers, it is important that technical help is available. ELIXIR needs to have a streamlined process for requesting cloud resources and technical help, so that a suitable cloud is found promptly for a course and there is a clear mechanism for reimbursing the technical personnel and computing resource costs for the provider. This study is now complete, the final report and other documents will be added as they are available. |
