The burden has shifted from the bio to the informatics. We need to be able to sort through this much data without needing access to university-scale computer facilities.
- aderaynal 15y agothat's exactly what I'm during at my day job: http://nextbio.com http://nextbio.com
- biopharma_guy 15y agoHow many person's curated genome does the nextbio has? I am just curious.
- sciurus 15y agoAgreed. At EuPathDB, we're trying to provide just that for the genomic data of parasites that cause diseases like sleeping sickness and malaria. And we're hiring! See http://jobs.eupathdb.org/ http://jobs.eupathdb.org/
- link2009 15y agoI wish you guys: A) Have an office in Canada B) Will continue to hire into next year, when I graduate.
- gourneau 15y agoAt Ion Torrent we are working this problem as well. We are always hiring too http://iontorrent.com http://iontorrent.com All of our software is open source http://github.com/iontorrent http://github.com/iontorrent
- biopharma_guy 15y agowhich language the software is written in?

- bthomas 15y agoI think it's important to give clear examples here - research questions that biologists have posed but are struggling to answer with existing software tools. They certainly exist, but I think some overestimate the bottleneck. For example, I would argue that the bioinformatics challenges at Ion Torrent are less important than, say, chemistry that creates longer reads :)
