  (Asked by: username_0 on 2022-02-16)
  
  I want to use cloud computing services to analyze my oncological RNA-seq data.
  
  I came across **Galaxy** and **Cancer Genomics Cloud** as two cloud computing platforms which are used by the research community.
  
  Can someone give me the pros and cons of using either **Galaxy** or **Cancer Genomics Cloud**.
