Meeting the Storage Challenge of Exponential Data Growth in Genomics
Introduction Life sciences and healthcare industries are in the midst of a dramatic transformation that will make individualized medicine common-place. Completing the sequencing of the first human genome in 2003 was a key breakthrough that took more than ten years, and over three billion dollars to do. Since then, the speed of genome sequencing has far more than doubled every two years easily outpacing Moore’s Law. Today’s high- throughput s
