Abstract

The invention provides systems and methods for creating and using genomic analysis pipelines in which each analytical step within the pipeline can be independently set to run in a particular location. Steps that involve patient-identifying information or other sensitive research results can be restricted to running on a computer that is under the user's control, while steps that require a vast amount of processing power to sift through large amounts of raw data can be set to run on a powerful computer system such as a multi-processor server or cloud computer. The system provides a genomic pipeline editor with a plurality of genomic tools that can be arranging into pipelines. For one or more of the tools, the system receives a selection indicating execution by a particular computer. The system will cause genomic data to be analyzed according to the pipeline and the location selection.
