Abstract Since launching to the public in September 2018, the Gabriella Miller Kids First Data Resource Center (DRC) has made an increasing number of pediatric genomic studies available to the research community. Currently, 1.3 PBs of genomic and clinical data drawn from 12,000 participants are available across a variety of pediatric cancer and structural birth defect studies. The DRC has architected a secure, cloud-based platform with over 1,300 users that supports the ability of researchers to not only find, access, and reuse data, but also integrate, collaborate, and analyze data quickly at scale. Users can use integrations with platforms such as Cavatica for bioinformatics workflows and PedcBioPortal for cancer genomic visualizations. Additionally, a set of framework services, powered by Gen3, provide a foundation for interoperability with other large-scale data sources, platforms, and a growing ecosystem of analysis and visualization applications. These integrations allow users to search across both TARGET and Kids First clinical data in one location while allowing data governance to be maintained by the original approvers. The new “explore data” feature allows users to search across all studies in order to identify virtual cohorts. Within the portal, these cohorts can be saved and shared with collaborators for iterative refinement and analysis. With appropriate approvals, the associated genomic data can be accessed and analyzed seamlessly in Cavatica or other platforms with interoperable framework services. Additionally, gene searching capabilities will be available in 2020. Data is free to download and cloud credits are available for analysis support.
