Yes. There are several genomics analysis platforms designed to handle large sequence/data uploads and support secure collaboration across teams. The best choice depends on whether you want a cloud-native platform, an enterprise collaboration environment, or an open-source/self-hosted option.

Common options

1. DNAnexus

  • Built for large-scale genomics data
  • Supports secure upload of very large files
  • Role-based access control and team/project sharing
  • Common in clinical, pharma, and research settings
  • Good for regulated environments

2. Seven Bridges

  • Cloud-based genomics platform
  • Handles large datasets and workflow execution
  • Strong collaboration features for teams
  • Secure access controls and audit trails
  • Often used for variant analysis, pipelines, and multi-user projects

3. Terra (Broad Institute)

  • Designed for collaborative biomedical data analysis
  • Good support for large datasets and reproducible workflows
  • Workspace-based collaboration with permissions
  • Popular in academic and consortium settings

4. BaseSpace Sequence Hub (Illumina)

  • Useful if your data comes from Illumina instruments
  • Supports upload, storage, analysis, and team sharing
  • Good for sequencing workflows and integrated apps

5. Google Cloud / AWS genomics stacks

  • Not a single app, but can be built into a secure collaborative environment
  • Strong for large-file storage and access control
  • Needs more configuration than turnkey platforms

6. Cavatica / open-source-style collaborative platforms

  • More oriented toward research collaboration and workflow sharing
  • Can support large files depending on deployment
  • Good for teams needing reproducibility and controlled access

What to look for

For your use case, check that the platform includes:

  • Multipart/resumable upload for big files
  • Encryption in transit and at rest
  • User/group permissions
  • Audit logs
  • Workspace or project-level sharing
  • Workflow reproducibility
  • Compliance support if needed (HIPAA, GDPR, etc.)

Best fits by scenario

  • Enterprise / clinical genomics: DNAnexus, Seven Bridges
  • Academic collaboration: Terra
  • Illumina-centric labs: BaseSpace
  • Highly customized infrastructure: AWS/GCP-based solutions

If you want, I can also give you a comparison table of these tools by price model, security, file size support, and collaboration features.
