This presentation gives a brief summary of the Human Cell Atlas project and describes the data coordination platform which is being built to support it.
1. The Human Cell Atlas Data Coordination Platform
March 20th
12th CeBiTec Symposium
Big Data in Medicine and Biotechnology
Center for Interdisciplinary Research (ZiF), Bielefeld University
Laura Clarke
5. To create a comprehensive reference map of the
types and properties of all human cells, the
fundamental unit of life, as a basis for
understanding, diagnosing, monitoring, and
treating health and disease
Human Cell Atlas: Mission
11. Ensure the data is open and accessible to all researchers
Encourage innovation on computation methods
Enable sharing of new methods and technologies
Organize and standardize terabytes of data for billions of
cells, across multiple modalities, generated by hundreds of
labs around the world.
Data Coordination Challenges
25. HCA metadata standards are:
Agile
Modular
Flexible
Validated
Open
Community driven
Ensuring HCA data is FAIR

29. ● Save searches as collections
● Share search collections
● Download files (FASTQ, bam, tiff,
expression matrix, etc)
Browsing the data

30. ● Filter for a set of data in the Data Browser
● “Handoff” mechanism to Tertiary Portals for analysis/visualization
● Sends search results
Hand data to the tertiary portals
