Sequencing Data Storage and Management 2011

Next-generation sequencing platforms are capable of generating gigabytes of data in a sequence run leading to terabytes of data in a single experiment. Thus data storage, transfer, and management will be unquestionably the rate limiting steps in turning this new sequencing data into knowledge. Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s Sequencing Data Storage and Management convenes hardware and software engineers, database architects, storage managers, systems integrators and analysts, as well as biological researchers and bioinformaticists. Each specialty provides unique perspectives and must be integrated into a cohesive, comprehensive team to efficiently manage the sequencing data deluge.
