Inside the Discovery Cloud: Genomic Analysis in the Cloud Pt. 2

While genomic sequencing gets cheaper, more extensive, and more routine, the analysis of those sequences remains a difficult challenge. Clinics and laboratories studying genetics now use computational methods and bioinformatics pipelines to streamline this process, converting raw sequencing results into accurate and actionable insights.

In this talk, part of the Computation Institute Inside the Discovery Cloud Speaker Series, Paul Davé and Alex Rodriguez of Globus Genomics talk about how the service helps solve these challenges and accelerate genomics research by offering easy data transfer and cloud-based analysis.

About Inside the Discovery Cloud Speaker Series 2014-15:

Computation catalyzes collaboration, placing disciplines with their own jargon, practices, and culture on common digital ground and bringing new capabilities and perspectives to propel discovery. The primary mission of the Computation Institute -- a joint initiative of the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory -- is to advance and accelerate research across all fields. Partnerships between CI and domain scientists create pioneering and unique collaborations, investigating some of the largest scientific questions of our time: climate change, genetic medicine, global urbanization.
