Task Execution Service (TES)

Provides a standard mechanism for orchestrating complex analyses across different compute environments

Analyzing data across the world can make genomics research more powerful by connecting many large-scale datasets for simultaneous analysis. Such investigations use complex methods, like aligning multiple sequences to the human reference genome to identify potentially pathogenic variants. These analyses often involve up to hundreds of thousands of computational tasks, which can take considerable time and compute power to execute. Developed by the GA4GH Cloud Work Stream, the Task Execution Service (TES) provides a standard mechanism for orchestrating these complex analyses across different compute environments.
