Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for Bioinformatics
This repository shows how to use ☁️Google Cloud Platform public cloud services to scale bioinformatics data analysis tasks using cloud best practices for GCP. This use cases featured as exampled are called any and all of the following: genomic-scale data workflows, pipelines, analysis or batch jobs.
This content is intended for researchers - in particular, this guide is for those who are NEW to working with GCP.

Why would I choose to use a public cloud vendor for bioinformatics?
⭐️ SAVE MONEY run (and pay for) scalable analysis jobs only when you need to run them
⭐️ SAVE TIME use vendor-managed infrastructure & best-practice patterns for fast repeatable research
