The following release notes correspond to the dates March 8-14, 2025.
This release also includes back-end updates to workflows, interactive analysis (Notebooks, Galaxy, RStudio), user interface, Data Repository, and Google integrations to improve upcoming features.
Datasets
-
The FireCloud Data Library is now powered by DUOS
TARGET and TCGA datasets are now located at https://duos.org/datalibrary/firecloud where you can browse the available data and request access.
Terra Data Repo
-
Streamlined sharing and security option when creating snapshots
We've updated the snapshot creation process to include sharing with collaborators and optional additional security in a stepwise process. Now you can create a snapshot, share with collaborators, and add optional security features all within the snapshot create view rather than going to different parts of the application.
Workflows/cost control
-
Cost reporting in real time
For new workflows submitted after 3/3/25, the Run Cost column now shows the current estimated run cost when the actual cost is not available. This change is not retroactive for older workflows.
Workspaces
-
Check out the new workspace creation wizard
Share a workspace at creation time with a new workspace creation wizard now available in preview. The wizard also includes adjusted messaging around authorization domains to clarify their role in user access. Go to https://app.terra.bio/#feature-preview and enable the Enhanced user controls for creating workspaces feature to try it out!

Autogenerated tables (in preview) support ONT sequencer files
We added support to the autogenerate data table feature preview for ONT sequencer file patterns. Go to https://app.terra.bio/#feature-preview to enable the Autogenerate data table for single and paired-end sequencing feature and let us know what you think!
