China's biggest gene launches first cloud computing product

April 24, Huada Gene announced its successful construction of a self-developed cloud computing services product--easygenomics, which aims to provide a fast, accurate and easy to operate new generation of sequencing Analysis Services for researchers in the field of "group science", so as to better deal with and solve the storage of massive biological information data. , processing, calculation and analysis.

Data-driven research is causing great changes in the field of modern life science. "Big Data" has become a hot topic recently. It is known by some scientists as "a new kind of currency" and "a new kind of oil". U.S. President Barack Obama on March 29 just announced his "Big Data" plan, and decided to invest 200 million dollars a year to fund "big data" research. This shows the importance of "big data", and the related research is imminent.

Cloud computing is a powerful tool to solve this problem. Based on this, Huada gene built a cloud computing platform and successfully launched its first cloud product--easygenomics. The product is a set of simple operation, flexible and diverse, set storage analysis in one of the "single-stop" automated service system. According to the introduction, Easygenomics main set of genomics in the field of commonly used and the Chinese gene-specific data and parameters as a whole, combined with cloud storage and high-performance computing technology, to lower costs, higher efficiency to complete a large number of data processing and analysis.
