Cost-effective and scalable Oxford Nanopore Technologies primary analysis with Nextflow and Amazon EC2 G Instances

This post was contributed by Stefan Dittforth and Michael Mueller Introduction Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) sequencing enhances genome analysis in research and healthcare with its ability to produce long-read sequencing data in real-time. Long reads improve our ability to detect structural variation, resolve repetitive regions, perform haplotype phasing and analyze full-length transcripts, providing a more […]

Scaling life sciences research by deploying AWS ParallelCluster and AWS DataSync

In life sciences research, managing large-scale computational resources and data efficiently is important for success. However, traditional on-premises environments often struggle to meet these requirements effectively. This post demonstrates how JSR Corporation transformed their research infrastructure using AWS ParallelCluster and AWS DataSync, achieving a 33% reduction in CPU usage and 85% in storage requirements. JSR’s […]

AWS at SC25 - Meet the Advanced Computing team at Booth #2207

Meet the Advanced Computing team of AWS at SC25 in St. Louis

We want to empower every scientist and engineer to solve hard problems by giving them access to the compute and analytical tools they need, when they need them. Cloud HPC can be a real human progress catalyst. If you run large scale simulations, tune complex models, or support researchers who consistently need more compute, the […]
