eBook Genomics in the Cloud

The last 20 years have seen tremendous growth in human genomics. Due to the incredible advances in technology, millions of genomes have been sequenced, making it easier to study diseases associated with mutations in a single gene.

But with genomics sequencing analysis becoming more accessible, the amount of data being produced is rapidly expanding, with the amount of raw genomic data being produced.

Genomics data output is increasing all the time. But while these ever-larger scientific datasets may be a goldmine for discovery, analysing them within on-premise legacy environments – which many life-science organisations still use – has become a bottleneck in genomics research. Massive processing power and scalability is required, presenting a challenge to organisations of all sizes with on-premise storage systems based on outdated legacy infrastructure.

In this eBook we will provide insight on:

• The growth of genomics sequencing
• Key data challenges
• How cloud migration can help
• & Key cloud challenges

We have expertise in Cloud Genomics and working alongside AWS are bringing genomics healthcare to life for Genomics England. We will also look at what’s next for cloud genomics.

The benefits of moving to the cloud are many, and we will look at these plus the challenges in this eBook.
