Abstract: A method for rapid deployment b of a data lake in association with a cloud computing service. In response to a request to provision the data lake, a new cloud account is created. Within the new cloud account, a service provider access role and associated permissions are created. The new cloud account is then associated, by cross-trust, with an account in the cloud computing service that is one of: a service provider deployment account, and a customer account. A private data cloud is then associated with the service provider deployment account or the customer account. The private data cloud is uniquely associated with the new cloud account and the data lake. A firewall service enabling secure access between the data data lake and an external enterprise network is provisioned. The data lake is then provisioned in the private data cloud to complete the rapid deployment.

Abstract: The invention features a transgenic animal, which expresses a Coxsackie-adenovirus receptor (CAR) in its cells. The invention provides a new animal model for effecting adenovirus-mediated gene delivery and for testing gene function in vivo, and also provides new opportunities to assess gene function in vitro using freshly isolated cells.
