A plot of the Evolution of Computer Capacity and Costs shows that compute power will be 1,000X cheaper in 10 years. How much lower can it go? As this happens the relative cost of managing another computer goes asymptotic to zero, regardless of whether its hosted internally or externally. I don't think there is ...
Our concept “Sequence Data Management” (SDM) doesn’t fit the primary/secondary/tertiary analysis informatics categories. Why? Because we've coupled the alignment step with the analysis step in one-shot. Why is that better? Biologists can to compute the data on their own and mine the data in an easy to use web application. They are able to “finish ...
We've heard lots of requests from customers not only to provide them with powerful methods for detection variants across multiple experiments (or phenotypes, or organisms, or lines), but for unifying all of this data to find knowledge that spans these experiments. Of course we have our variant calling workflow, just as we integrate with other variant ...
I'm excited to start our advisory board, with the appointment of Dr. Mark Boguski. Since our initial financing in 2005, our investors have urged us to build the science advisory board. So what took so long? Until now, it wasn't necessary. We provided clear business value to pharma for a well-defined use case. An advisory board ...
