AZTEC: A Cloud-based Computational Platform to Integrate Biomedical Resources

Omics phenotyping has become increasingly recognizedin our path to Precision Medicine. A major computationalchallenge of our investigator community is to identify the necessarydata analytical tools to process multi-omics data. To aidnavigation of the analytical tools fragmented across the web, wehave created a novel computational resource platform, AZTEC,that empowers users to simultaneously search a diverse arrayof digital resources including databases, standalone software,web services, publications, and large libraries composed ofmany interrelated functions. AZTEC fosters an environment ofsustainable resource support and discovery, enabling researchersto overcome the challenges of information science. An online videoof the demonstration can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIxvlof6Kbg.
