Google Genomics teaming up with Broad Institute in DNA data analysis

A part of Google Cloud Platform, Google Genomics has partnered with Broad Institute, a biomedical research organization made up of scientists from Harvard University, MIT and Harvard-affiliated hospitals to offer a cloud service version of its popular DNA analysis software called Genomic Analysis Tool Kit, or GATK.

GATK is a software which is used to analyse huge amounts of genomic sequencing data and has an industrial-strength infrastructure and engine that handle data access, conversion and traversal, as well as high-performance computing features and is highly generic and can be applied to all kinds of datasets and genome analysis problems.

The technical supremacy of Google to handle large amounts of data and analyse them speedily could make this partnership a revolutionary technological change in the area of medical research, which is often limited by the unavailability of accurate methods for interpreting the huge volume of genome sequence data (the entire genome of just one person produces more than 100 gigabytes of raw data!).

The GLP aggregated and excerpted this blog/article to reflect the diversity of news, opinion and analysis. Read full, original post: Google Adds DNA Analysis Toolkit From Broad Institute To Its Google Genomics Cloud Platform
