给一起学习基因组云计算的小伙伴推荐一本书，《Genomics in the Cloud：Using Docker, GATK, and WDL in Terra》，作者是GATK社区管理员，2020年出版，还算比较新吧。
Github地址：
genomics-in-the-cloud
本书涵盖内容：
- 基本基因组学和计算技术背景
- 基本的云计算操作
- GATK 入门，以及三个主要的 GATK 最佳实践管道
- 使用 WDL 和 Cromwell 使用脚本化工作流程自动分析
- 在云中扩展工作流执行，包括并行化和成本优化
- 使用 Jupyter 笔记本在云中进行交互式分析
- 使用 Terra 的安全协作和计算可重复性
书很厚，花了很大篇幅介绍Broad自己的产品，但我们基本不会用到它的云平台Terra，排版很差，这是本书不足之处。另外，该书是针对人类基因组来写的，所以范围有限。不过有选择性地挑选一些章节来看，不失为一个好的选择，毕竟这方面的书籍太少了。
