The NHGRI Genomic Data Science Analysis, Visualization, and Informatics Lab-space (AnVIL) is a cloud-based genomic data sharing and analysis platform. AnVIL facilitates integration and computing on and across large datasets generated by NHGRI programs, as well as initiatives funded by National Institutes of Health (NIH), or by other agencies that support human genomics research. AnVIL is a component of the emerging federated data ecosystem and actively collaborates and integrates with other genomic data resources through the adoption of the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles. AnVIL provides a collaborative environment and interfaces for consortia and researchers. AnVIL offers training and functionality for users that have limited computational expertise as well as sophisticated data scientist users.
Specifically, the AnVIL resource provides genomic researchers with the following key elements:
- Cloud-based infrastructure and software platform
- Shared analysis and computing environment
- Interoperability and compliance with the emerging federated data ecosystem
- Cloud services cost control
- Genomic datasets, phenotypes and metadata
- Data access and data security
- User training and outreach
- Incorporation of scientific and technology advance for storing, accessing, sharing and computing on large genomic datasets
