At the Ó³»­´«Ã½ of MIT and Harvard we generate a lot of data. We also develop the cutting-edge software tools researchers need to find signals in the noise. We are committed to sharing tools and data openly with the entire scientific community, and have dedicated a team to constantly improve our Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK), which is the software package we developed for analysis of high-throughput sequencing data.

Ó³»­´«Ã½ of MIT and Harvard is collaborating with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Cloudera, Google, IBM, Intel, and Microsoft to enable cloud-based access to its Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK) software package. Through these collaborations the GATK Best Practices pipeline will be available to users of cloud service providers through a software-as-a-service (SaaS) mechanism, expanding access beyond traditional desktop solutions. Ó³»­´«Ã½ will also work with collaborators to drive the creation of the next generation of GATK based on the Apache SparkTM computing framework.
