Will Computers Crash Genomics

摘要: A single DNA sequencer can now generate in a day what it took 10 years to collect for the Human Genome Project. Computers are central archiving and analyzing this information, but their processing power isn9t increasing fast enough, costs decreasing too slowly, keep up with deluge. Bioinformaticists trying new approaches handle data onslaught. Some heading clouds—cloud computing, that is, pay-as-you-go service, accessible from one9s own desktop, provides rented time on large cluster of machines work together parallel as as, or faster than, powerful computer. But other researchers warn cloud computing is not solution every problem. This News Focus article one sharing genomic trial participants part collection month reflecting 10th anniversary publication human genome, which gathered here.
