Storing and processing NGS data is a very challenging task because of big amount of data. At the same time the demand for higher sequencing throughput grows faster than IT industry is able to provide supporting infrastructure.
We envision a world where a millions, if not billions, genetic samples have to be processed, analyzed and stored for reference annually.
To accelerate NGS data processing we created cloud-based solution, that works on the top of Amazon EC2 F1 instance.
This instance equipped with the hi-end FPGA accelerator able to unleash whole power of our state-of-the-art VAVILOV genomics engine.
We are working on acceleration of whole NGS data processing pipeline and right now we are pleased to announce our initial product - ultra fast short read aligner (FASTQ to SAM), it makes 12-25 times faster the most part of reference genome assembly pipeline.
