Description

Large-scale viral genomic surveys for SARS-CoV-2 can provide important baseline information for national and state-level surveillance, defining important changes in transmission, identifying unusual or emerging variants, and ultimately: improving public health responses and decision-making with better laboratory data.� Even so, routine sequencing of viruses can be challenging in many public health laboratories, due to a number of factors, including the complexity of sequencing and bioinformatic workflows, and limited access to timely remnant samples for sequencing and analysis.� The Terra platform, developed by the Broad Institute is a secure, scalable platform that is currently used to host data and provide an analysis environment for many projects including the All of Us Research Program, the National Human Genome Research Institute�s ANVIL, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute�s BioDataCatalyst, and the Human Cell ATLAS.� Additionally, Broad�s Viral Genomics group has used Terra over the past year to process and analyze data from SARS-CoV-2 samples collected from around New England in order to construct phylogenetic analyses for both surveillance and tracking of emerging variants of concern. Terra includes a digital object catalog for tracking datasets and managing access to them, workspaces to enable aggregation analysis and sharing of data while maintaining a tight security perimeter, scalable analytical engines for both batch processing and exploratory analysis and a variety of focused applications targeting important use cases and user communities. It has a robust operations and support infrastructure which includes threat detection, cost optimizations, regulatory compliance, documentation and user support. As part of a National SARS-CoV-2 sequencing surveillance program, many State Public Health Labs (SPHL) are beginning to sequence the genomes of SARS-CoV-2 in order to survey their communities for emerging variants of concern.� Most SPHLs lack the resources and expertise to rapidly analyze and deposit the sequences into the public databases.��
