Genomics in the AWS Cloud

Perform genome analysis and sequencing of data with Amazon Web Services

Genomics in the AWS Cloud: Analyzing Genetic Code Using Amazon Web Services enables a person who has moderate familiarity with AWS Cloud to perform full genome analysis and research. Using the information in this book, you''ll be able to take a FASTQ file containing raw data from a lab or a BAM file from a service provider and perform genome analysis on it. You''ll also be able to identify potentially pathogenic gene sequences.

• Get an introduction to Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS)
• Make sense of WGS on AWS
• Master AWS services for genome analysis

Some key advantages of using AWS for genomic analysis is to help researchers utilize a wide choice of compute services that can process diverse datasets in analysis pipelines. Genomic sequencers that generate raw data files are located in labs on premises and AWS provides solutions to make it easy for customers to
