The visual interface

Seven Bridges Platform Quickstart

Start with the QuickStart. This will walk you through a simple exome sequencing analysis using the Platform's visual interface in your browser.

We recommend that new users start with the Quickstart to gain familiarity with the basic concepts of the Platform. In particular, you'll create a project, and populate it with some of the publicly available files and apps provided on the Platform. Then, you'll modify the files' metadata and the workflow's parameter settings, before running a task.

Build a workflow

The Build a workflow tutorial tackles a specific concept on the Platform: how to build a workflow from scratch. This tutorial walks you through building RNA-seq Alignment - STAR, a workflow that aligns RNA-seq reads to a reference and outputs aligned reads, non-aligned reads, and the program log.

The SDK
